Brief Summary

Evaluate the therapeutic effect of Whole body vibration and Resistance training on strength of quadriceps post lower limb burn

Detailed Description

Study Design:

This randomized controlled trial will include 60 patients suffering from partial thickness burns. The patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups, with each group consisting of 30 patients.

Study Explanation:

A verbal explanation about the importance of the study, its procedures, main aims, and conceptual approach will be provided to every patient.

Study Procedures:

The procedures of this study will be divided into two main categories: evaluation procedures and treatment procedures.

Evaluation Procedures:

Evaluation will be conducted using isokinetic dynamometry for all patients both before and after the study.

Treatment Procedures:

First Group: Patients in the first group will receive whole body vibration therapy.

Second Group: Patients in the second group will undergo resisted exercises.

Conditions

Lower Limb Burn; Muscle Weakness Condition

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

group A

whole body vibration group

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

whole body vibration

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Standing in different static positions or exercising on a vibrating platform.The mechanical stimuli of vibration transmitted to the body and stimulate muscle spindles which activate the alpha motor neurons and initiates muscle contractions comparable to the ''tonic vibration reflex. The effect of WBV on the neuromuscular properties of skeletal muscles and spinal mechanisms is demonstrated by a decreased electromechanical delay.

group B

resistance exercises

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Resistance Exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

Resistance training as a mode of exercise to promote several health benefits, including improvements in the muscle mass and strength of healthy adults.Resistance training, where muscles are required to contract against an opposing load, has been shown to be a beneficial form of rehabilitation in clinical populations prone to muscle wasting, providing stimuli to increase protein synthesis and muscle mass.
