Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Thirty patients with unilateral burn injury, and 60 healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded. Gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle). will be recorded via computerized system. And gait symmetry will be calculated via formule. Participants' kinesiophobia level will be evaluated with Tampa kinesiophobia scale. Their pain will be assessed by visual analog scale. Their arm swing will be evaluated by a scale.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty individuals with lower extremity burn injury and sixty healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will be included if they are aged of 18-50, able to walk independently at least 10 meters. Healthy subjects will be included if there are no orthopedic, neurological or musculoskeletal disorders that affect gait.

1. Group: 30 Patients with burn injury
2. Group: 30 healthy subjects (When evaluating the gait analysis, their arm will not be restricted (Their natural walking)
3. Group : 30 healthy subject (When evaluating the gait analysis, their arm will be restricted )

Participants will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded.

All subjects' gait analysis will be conducted via GAITRite (computerized) system.

GAITRite system for gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle), Tampa Kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain, a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used.

These evaluations will be applied one time for participants. These evaluations will be made within 5 days following burn injury.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group

Thirty subjects with unilateral upper burn injury will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. Their evaluations will be made within 5 days following burn injury.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gait Analysis

Intervention Type OTHER

Gait Analysis: Gait analysis is not a routine assessment tool for upper extremity burn injuries. This analysis is an assessment method to estimate gait symmetry.

Restriction arm swing: Participants in group will be restricted for arm swing using a bandage. Thus, the reciprocal arm swing will be prevented.

Control Group

Thirty healthy subjects will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. When their gait analysis made, they will be asked to walk their natural walking.

Intervention Type OTHER

Gait Analysis: Gait analysis is not a routine assessment tool for upper extremity burn injuries. This analysis is an assessment method to estimate gait symmetry.

Restriction arm swing: Participants in group will be restricted for arm swing using a bandage. Thus, the reciprocal arm swing will be prevented.

Control Grup (Restricted arm swing)

Thirty healthy subjects will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. When their gait analysis made, their arms will be fixed with a bandage on their bodies. Their arm swing will be restricted.
