Both groups were given routine rehabilitation management. The control group was given routine ball-holding rehabilitation exercise on the upper limb of the AVF side, and the intervention group was given rhythmic dumbbell rehabilitation exercise based on M-PAC theory. The intervention began 2 weeks after the operation, and the total intervention lasted for 3 months. Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the physiological maturation of AVF in both intervention and control groups, including cephalic venous blood flow, venous diameter, and skin-to-thickness distance. Clinical maturation outcomes were recorded and observed, including pump-controlled blood flow compliance rate, target values of pump-controlled blood flow, and single-needle puncture success rate. The Chinese version of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (KDQOL-SFTM) was employed to evaluate patients\u2019 quality of life before and after the intervention.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Prior to the intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in general patient data, venous diameter, skin-to-thickness ratio, and various dimensions of quality of life, indicating balanced comparability (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\/|t|\u2009\u2264\u20091.900,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2265\u20090.062). Regarding cephalic venous blood flow metrics, as preoperative values were extremely low and unstable, making measurement challenging, this study only compared post-intervention cephalic venous blood flow. For pump-controlled blood flow measurements, since patients lacked access to arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) prior to intervention, this study only analyzed post-intervention pump-controlled blood flow values. Post-intervention analysis revealed that the intervention group demonstrated significantly better outcomes in all metrics compared to the control group: superior cephalic venous blood flow, venous diameter, skin-to-vessel distance (STED), pump-controlled blood flow rate, single-needle puncture success rate, and quality of life dimensions (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \/|t|\u2009\u2265\u20092.574,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2264\u20090.012). However, no significant difference was observed in the pump-controlled blood flow rate qualification rate (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u2009=\u20093.486,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.507).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Rhythmic dumbbell upper limb rehabilitation exercise based on M-PAC theory can promote the physiological and clinical
