Impact of Inspiratory Muscle Training Post-Burn
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Pulmonary dysfunction can be developed as a result of complications caused by direct thermal injury to the respiratory tract, smoke irritations, and respiratory tract infection. Although the survival rates of patients with burn injury have increased because of improved acute management, pulmonary complications have continued to be the main cause of mortality in patients with burns. The patients who survive suffer from persistent physiological impairments, limited aerobic capacity, increased skeletal muscle catabolism, and decreased muscle strength/endurance. Rehabilitation strategies for the long-term recovery in patients with burns aim to improve the physical function and independence in daily activities.

Interventions
Inspiratory muscle training
Participants in the experimental group will receive Inspiratory muscle training device, in addition to conventional physical therapy program. Initially, participants will be asked to perform three sets of 30 breaths on the POWER breathe to adjust the load and become familiar with the device. The training will include six 30-breath sets each day, divided into two sessions each. There is a one-minute rest time between each set. The inspiratory muscle load for training will be 50% of maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and it will be reviewed and changed weekly.
Conventional physical therapy
Conventional physical therapy exercise program in the form of respiratory physical therapy, balance and aerobic exercises.
