2010
Abstract
Presently, with aging we observed rising of musculoskeletal complications in patients on renal dialysis treatment. These various complications are among them that give rise to limitations in their functional capacity, reducing of physical activity and finally to loss of self-sufficiency and self-reliance.
Gradually, there is development of the dependence on other persons'' assistance. Quality of the life is getting worse together with the disease progression.
Functional capacity and quality of the life in patients on haemodialysis is worse in comparison with population without renal failure.
