Aim of the study is to investigate gender-based differences in dynamic balance in form of Timed-Up-and-Go and Five Times-sit-to-Stand-to-sit tests among hemodialysis patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
Are there gender-based differences in dynamic balance in form of Timed-Up-and-Go and Five Times-sit-to-Stand-to-sit tests among hemodialysis patients?

Primary outcome measure(s)
