The Effect of Mechanically-Generated Vibrations on the Efficacy of Hemodialysis; Assessment of Patients' Safety: Preliminary Reports.

Muscle activity during a hemodialysis procedure improves its efficacy. We have formulated a hypothesis that vibrations generated by a specially-designed dialysis chair can, the same as physical exercise, affect the filtering of various fluids between fluid spaces during the hemodialysis procedure. This prospective and interventional study included 21 dialyzed patients.
