Effects of Whole-body Electrostimulation on Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

"Symmetrical biphasic current, pulse width of 400 μs, frequency of 75 Hz, contraction time of five seconds and rest time of 10 seconds. The intensity will be individually adjusted to the patient's maximum tolerance limit to reach the motor threshold and the volunteer will be instructed to achieve a score of 7 on the modified BORG scale to ensure a moderate-intense effort. The session time will be 16 minutes, resulting in a total of 64 contractions per session. The progression of overload will only occur with an increase in the intensity of all muscle groups during the sessions.~Concomitantly with the electrical stimuli, the volunteer will perform exercises for the upper, lower limbs and trunk. After performing neuromuscular electrical stimulation, the patient will remain in the supine position to receive sensory stimulation throughout the body. The parameters used will be: frequency of 20 Hz and pulse width of 400 μs for 44 minutes."
