Whole-Body Vibration Training On Thermal Burn Injury In Pediatrics
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
60 Patients with partial and full thickness thermal burns of the lower limb and trunk will be indiscriminately assigned to study group Group A(Study group): 30 patients received whole body vibration training on a vibration platform 12-15 minutes, 5 times per week, plus traditional physical therapy exercise program in the form of 60 minutes supervised exercise program for 8 weeks. Group B (control group):30 patients will receive a traditional physical therapy program. The program consists of 60 minutes of supervised stretching exercise to all involved joints followed by strengthening for affected muscles for 8 weeks.

Interventions
Whole Body Vibration Training Plus Conventional Physical Therapy Exercise Program.
Patients in the study group will receive the traditional physical therapy program first, followed immediately by whole-body vibration training on the vibration platform (Power Plate International, Irvine, California, USA) at the same visit. The vibration frequency will be 30 Hz and the amplitude will be from 4 to 7 mm, with an increase of 1mm every two weeks. The WBV program was three sessions a week for eight weeks. WBV duration starts with 10 min in the 1st week and up to 25 min in the 8th week, with a regular increase of five minutes after every two successive weeks.
Conventional Physical Therapy Exercise Program.
The program will include 60 minutes of a supervised and individualized exercise program, including stretching exercises for the Calf and hamstring muscles, followed by strengthening exercises for hip, knee, ankle, and foot muscles, and scar management techniques to avoid scar or contracture formation.
