Filter by:This project will identify the efficacy of cooling modalities aimed to attenuate excessive elevations in skin and internal body temperatures during physical activity in well-healed burn survivors. The investigators will conduct a randomized crossover design study. Non-burned control subjects, subjects who experienced burns covering ~20% to 40% of their body surface area, and subject having burns >40% of their body surface area will be investigated. Subjects will exercise in heated environmental conditions while receiving the following cooling modalities: no cooling, fan only, skin wetting only, and a combination of fan and skin wetting.
Burn injury causes continuous catabolism of the skeletal muscle resulting in decreased muscle strength, muscle mass and impairment of functional mobility. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of combination of exercise training and protein supplementation on lean body mass (LBM) and muscle strength in patients with severe burn.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration device on Balance control, postural Stability and mobility after thermal burn injuries.
The main objective of our study is to focus on the efficiency of standard fluid resuscitation in promoting tissue perfusion in severe burns patients (>15% TBSA). The incidence of microcirculatory perfusion alterations, according to a predefined arbitrary cut off value, in patients with severe burns injury (>15%TBSA) will be assessed during standard resuscitation in the first 24 hours. Secondary objectives are to assess differences in microcirculatory perfusion alterations between early (<12 hours post burn injury) and late standard resuscitation (>12 hours post burn injury) with addition of albumin to the regime. And to measure several biomarkers of glycocalyx shedding, oxidative stress and inflammation.
The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) were considered as primary outcome measurements. Secondary outcomes included total active range of motion (ROM) of the digits, hand grip strength and pinch strengths (tip, palmer and lateral pinch). All measurement was conducted at two occasions: at the baseline and after intervention.
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of physical therapy rehabilitation program combined with music therapy on pediatric with lower limb burn. Methods. A twelve-week randomized controlled study including thirty lower limb pediatric burned patients who randomly divided into two groups, Group(A) received physical therapy rehabilitation program combined with music therapy in addition to routine medical care while Group (B) received physical therapy rehabilitation program without music therapy. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and range of motion (ROM) was assessed by goniometer, and gait assessed by GAIT Rite. Assessment was carried before and after treatment
Treatment of patients with burns of the skin of the 2nd degree using: autologous keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts mixed with collagen gel 7% (tissue equivalent of the skin)
Burns treatment and management has evolved since the 90s, particularly for massive burns (≥ 50% of total body surface area (TBSA)). This study aims at analyzing the impact of the management changes on the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, the take of skin grafts and the mortality.
Burning mouth syndrome is a painful condition of unknown etiology that impairs the quality of life and does not have an adequate therapeutic option. The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective treatment option for burning mouth syndrome, among oral probiotics, low-level laser, B-vitamin injections and informative treatment only.
There are very few studies indicating the effect of acute phase treatment approaches on creatine kinase and the musculoskeletal system in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation in burn patients is a benchmark due to return to pre-burn life. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of acute phase treatment approaches on creatine kinase and the musculoskeletal system in different types of burns.
