Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of isometric and isotonic hand exercises on the maturation of arteriovenous fistula in patients requiring hemodialysis
Design
Personal information and disease characteristics (age, ..., smoking, high blood lipids, history of CVA, trauma, previous surgeries, cause of underlying kidney disease, pulses, blood pressure and edema, variables related to surgery such as the use of heparin during surgery, the presence of a trill on palpation or a murmur on auscultation after surgery) will be recorded. After random allocation, they will be trained for 4 weeks.
Settings and conduct
In addition to practical training, brochures will be provided to patients and their adherence to sports will be checked by phone calls. Before and after the intervention, Arterio-Venous Fistula maturation using ultrasound and physical examination will be evaluated and compared between the groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
diagnosed with End Stage of Renal Disease, undergone Arterio-Venous Fistula surgery for the first time, age range of 18 years and above. Patients who cannot be followed up, have a history of trauma and surgery and reduced movement in their hands will be excluded.
Intervention groups
After surgery, the control group receive routine general training. In the first intervention group, consistent isometric exercises will be designed by a sports medicine specialist. In the second intervention group, isotonic exercises will be performed using a wrist strengthening spring and a wrist strengthening ring.
Main outcome variables
Arteriovenous Fistula maturation

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Using the random numbers table, the participants will be recruited into the control and intervention groups. For this purpose, the researchers give a code to the members of the community, and since the number of members of the community is two digits, they give a two-digit code. Then they randomly start from a table point in the row direction. According to the type of digits of the codes (two digits), they will select the same number of digits in the direction of the table row. After reaching the desired house, they will choose a number smaller than the number of the population under study. The selected number is actually the code of an individual from the community that is selected as a sample. This work should continue until the number of sample people can be selected.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The analyzer of the outcomes will not be informed about the treatment assignments, this means that when presenting the data to her/him, the questionnaires have only one number and it is not clear which group each of these questionnaires belong to.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group1: Isometric exercises: It will be designed by a sports medicine specialist. This exercise program starts in the department under the supervision of a doctor 2 days after surgery and should be continued four times a day for 3 days a week. This exercise program starts with a low intensity 4 times a day (2 times in the morning and 2 times in the evening) in the form of pressing a tennis ball and exercising with dumbbells (half to one kilogram) and pulling bands, and the intensity of these exercises will increase in the following days.

Rehabilitation

2

Description
Intervention group2: Isotonic exercises: It will be done using a wrist strengthening spring and a wrist strengthening ring approved by a doctor and sports medicine specialist. In these patients, two days after the surgery, sports are started under the supervision of a doctor. In this way, in the first week, the patients are asked to squeeze and open the wrist strengthening ring 10 to 30 times per minute and repeat this 6 times a day, leaving at least 90 seconds between each set. In the 2nd week, the same thing should be done with the wrist strengthening spring, and in the 3rd and 4th weeks, each set will be increased to a minute.

Rehabilitation

3

Description
Control group: After surgery, they receive general training such as not to do hard work, not to take blood and blood pressure samples from the hand, and to do exercise using a plastic ball. This group performs the exercises 10 times, rests for one minute, and again ten times, rests for one minute, and presses the ball ten times for the third time. This group is asked to do this twice in the morning and twice in the evening. If there are no signs of infection, abscess, inflammation, pain and tenderness in the surgery site, these exercises will start 24 hours after the surgery.
