Compromised physical functioning is characteristic of medically complicated patients on dialysis, but many of these deficits can be addressed by rehabilitation. This article describes the benefits and limitations of a 3-month physical therapy pilot program at an inner-city hemodialysis clinic. Program results indicate the difficulties in keeping patients participating in such a program, but, for those patients who did regularly participate, on-site physical therapy consultation was valuable in assisting staff to identify exercise regimens that were consistent with individual patients' needs and addressed their functional difficulties.
身体机能受损是透析治疗中病情复杂的患者的特征,但其中许多缺陷可通过康复治疗来解决。本文描述了在市中心一家血液透析诊所开展的为期3个月的物理治疗试点项目的益处和局限性。项目结果表明让患者参与此类项目存在困难,但是,对于那些定期参与的患者而言,现场物理治疗咨询有助于工作人员确定符合个体患者需求并解决其功能障碍的运动方案,这一点很有价值。
