Brief Summary

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

Inhalation injury is a composite of multiple insults including: supra glottic thermal injury, subglottic airway and alveolar poisoning, and systemic poisoning from absorbed small molecule toxins. These contaminant insults independently affect each of the pulmonary functions as well as having a direct effect on systemic physiology. Further, anatomic characteristics can predispose patients to inhalation injury. For example, an infant will develop airway obstructions much faster than an adult due to reduced airway diameter. Understanding the contributions of each of these pathologies to the patient's disease is critical to managing inhalation injury.

Wii fit aerobic training gives similar results with traditional rehabilitation practices, it causes less energy costs. This suggests that it can be a suitable rehabilitation tool for adult and elderly people with low energy levels. A review showed that video games are safe and feasible in the children with lung complications. Children' balance, aerobic and cognitive functions, quality of life improved and depressive mood decreased. WII aerobic games also make children to communicate better with other family members.

Detailed Description

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

This study will investigate the effects of Wii aerobic training in Inhalation-injury Children post-thermal burn. To assign patients to different treatment groups, a table of random numbers generated by a computer was used. Patients were allocated randomly into one of three groups using this method. This study will be carried out at the outpatient clinic of the faculty of physical therapy, modern university for technology and information, Om El masryeen hospital and Embaba general hosbital after referral from dermatologist. Children will perform these exercises in a room supervisor physiotherapist.

All parents of children will sign a written consent form after receiving full information about the purpose of the study, procedure, possible benefits, privacy, and use of data.
