AB Background:Studies have shown that exercise programs have modified the morbidity and survival rates of CKD patients, thereby promoting their metabolic, physiological and psychological benefits.Objective:Compare Pilates and conventional physiotherapy on functionality, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity (Step Test) and length of stay of patients with CKD during the hospitalization period.Methods: 56 patients were randomized in two groups: Pilates and Control (conventional physiotherapy), each receiving their daily treatment for 30 minutes. Functionality was evaluated using Barthel Index, respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP) and Step Test were assessed at pre intervention period, after 5th and 10th treatment sessions and at the time of hospital discharge. The data was submitted to a normality test and Student's t test, two-way ANOVA and/or their equivalents in non-normal distribution were used. The analysis was performed on intent to treat basis.Results: No statistically significant difference was found at discharge between groups when compared functionality (Barthel Index) 99.61 ± 1,63 vs 95,1 ± 1,66, MEP 85,80 vs 84,33 % pred, andlength of stay, 24±21 vs 28±22 days forPilates and Control group respectively.Step Test 95,9±17,39 vs 59,08±12,30 steps (p<0,03) and MIP 89,82 vs 72,95 % pred (p<0,05) were statistically significant when compared Pilates vs Control.Conclusion: Pilates and Conventional Physiotherapy were able to maintain functionality and Pilates can improve inspiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity of CKD patients with during hospitalization avoiding losses caused by immobility.
