Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
\- to investigate the effects of an aquatic exercise program in patients with severe scars
Patient population:
* 10 patients of at least 18 years old
* patients with scars after burns or other severe skin injuries
* stratification into two groups: an intervention group and a control group
Method:
* 8 patients will participate in the aquatic exercise group and 2 patients in the control group
* assessment of physical fitness parameters, scar tissue and psychosocial impact
Hypothesis:
\- patients of the aquatic exercise group will recover sooner and better (physically and psychologically) than patients of the control group
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
\- during 6 weeks patients will performed an aquatic exercise program (2 to 3 sessions a week)
Assessment:
* T0: post-hospitalisation status: body mass index, physical fitness, strength and respiratory function
* T1: at baseline: body mass index, physical fitness, strength, respiratory function, exercise capacity, mobility, scar parameters and some questionnaires
* T2: after 6 weeks training: same measurements as T1
* T3: 3 months after end of aquatic training: idem T1
* T4: 6 months after end of aquatic training: questionnaires
* T5: 1 year after end of aquatic training: questionnaires
