Supporting data for “The effect of walking training with blood flow restriction on maintenance hemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled trial”

This thesis aimed to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of walk training with blood flow restriction in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. This is a three-arm randomized controlled trial. A total of 57 MHD patients were recruited and randomized into the walk training with blood flow restriction group (n = 19), walk training group (n = 19), and usual care group (n = 19). After an 8-week intervention, participants in the walk training with blood flow restriction and walk training group showed a significant improvement in physical function and some domains of health-related quality of life compared to those in the usual care group. The results indicated that walk training with blood flow restriction is a feasible intervention in this population.
