Study summary
When the literature is examined, it is seen that the extent to which cough strength, grip strength, physical activity level and quality of life levels are affected in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children is not sufficiently clarified. For this reason, this study aimed to reveal impairments in grip strength, cough strength, physical activity, sleep quality or quality of life in children with chronic renal failure compared to healthy children.
