Gait Training in Patients With Burn Injury

Twenty-four individuals with burn injury will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic datas; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn caharacteristics; 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 GAITRite system.

About this study

Twenty-four individuals with lower extremity burn injury will be included in this study. Participants will be included if they are aged of 18-50, able to walk independently at least 10 meters.

Participants will be divided in two groups; Intervention and control groups. Intervention group: standart rehabilitation program and gait training on the overground will be applied.

Conntrol Group:standart rehabilitation program and gait training on the treadmill will be applied.

Rehabilitation program will applied by physiotherapist during the acute hospitalization. Standart rehabilitation will include active range of motion exercises, functional mobility, balance activities.

Participants will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic datas; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn caharacteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded. 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), timed up and go test (TUG) for dynamic balance and six minute walk test (6MWT) for exercise capacity, will be used. These evaluations will be made twice; initial (admission) and final (discharge).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • participiants who have lower extremity burn injury and able to walk independently 10 meters

Exclusion criteria

  • f there is a medical condition that prevents the ambulance of the individual and oxygen is needed for ambulance, participants will be excluded.

Treatment and study plan

Gait Training

Other

Gait Training: Training will be applied by a physiotherapist on a treadmill or on an overgorund.

Primary outcomes

  1. Cadence

    Time frame: It will be measured while walking on a GITRite system. It is about 5 meters electronically sensored carpet. Inıtially evaluation at first minute

    Walking speed

  2. step length

    Time frame: Inıtially evaluation at first minute. It will be measured while walking on a GITRite system. It is about 5 meters electronically sensored carpet.

    Step Lenght assessment while walking

Secondary outcomes

  1. six minute walk test

    Time frame: the distance at the en of Six minute

    this test measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes The distance at the end of six minute will be recordedn.

  2. Timed up and go test

    Time frame: Inıtially evaluation in first minute

    The patient sits in the chair with his/her back against the chair back On the command "go", the patient rises from the chair, walks 3 meters at a comfortable and safe pace, turns, walks back to the chair and sits down Timing begins at the instruction "go" and stops when the patient is seated. The time will be recorded.
