Table 2. Quadriceps muscle thickness, 60s sit-to- stand test, distance covered in meters on the 6MWT and its predicted percentage, handgrip strength absolute values, and presence of muscle weakness in CKD patients.
Variables | Patients (n=40) |
---|---|
Mean (95%CI)/n (%) | |
Quadriceps thickness (mm) | 23.92 (22.43 - 25.41) |
60s-STS | 22.93 (21.62 - 24.23) |
DT on 6MWT(m) | 471.23 (445.97 - 496.48) |
DT% | 82.64 (79.23 - 86.05) |
Handgrip strength (kg) | 33.27 (28.79 - 37.76) |
% Handgrip strength | 81.13 (73.42 - 88.84) |
Muscular weakness | 10 (25%) |
60s-STS = 60s Chair sit-to-stand test; DT = distance traveled; 6MWT: six-minute walk test.
