Response of Aerobic Capacity to Low Level Laser Therapy in Burned Patients

Burns Clinical Trial

Official title:
Response of Aerobic Capacity to Low Level Laser Therapy in Burned Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

Severe burns can decrease pulmonary function and impair aerobic capacity persisting for long times post injury. Low level laser therapy is a new modality used to improve aerobic capacity, enhance exercise performance, increase time until fatigue when used prior to aerobic exercises. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of pre- exercise low level laser therapy on aerobic capacity in burned patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Low level laser therapy has a beneficial therapeutic effect on promoting aerobic capacity, improving maximum oxygen consumption and increasing treadmill time when preceding aerobic exercise training.This study was conducted to determine the effects of pre- exercise low level laser therapy on aerobic capacity in burned patients. Low level laser therapy was applied to the study group for 12 weeks before aerobic exercises, three sessions / week, while control group received 12 weeks of aerobic exercises, three times weekly. Patients in both groups were received the traditional physical therapy program as a routine treatment. Aerobic capacity was assessed by measuring maximum oxygen consumption and time to exhaustion at baseline and after twelve weeks of interventions for both groups. ;
