Science & conScience. Video games for the exercise during hemodialysis

Patients in hemodialysis are mainly sedentary. They are at hospital lying in bed 3 days per week and 4-5 hours per day during their treatment. So they have a decrease in their physical activity level. By implementing exercise during hemodialysis, the research group in Physioterapy and Quality of Life at CEU UCH University is looking for achieve a higher level of physical function, increasing muscle strenght in these patients. Now they are implementing the use of interactive video games in this type of combined exercise, an aerobic and strenghtening training, during hemodialysis to involve more patients in exercise, just playing video games!
