This study supports feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of iPENS to improve mobility and potentially reduce plantar numbness in people with diabetes undergoing hemodialysis. Considering that exercise programs are not widely used in hemodialysis clinical practice, iPENS may serve as a practical, alternative solution to reduce hemodialysis-acquired weakness and promote mobility.
