Summary

This study investigated the effects of Pilates exercises on lower limb muscle strength, functional capacity, and quality of life in children with burn injuries. In a twelve-week randomized clinical trial involving 60 children, those who received Pilates exercises in addition to traditional physical therapy showed significant improvements in muscle strength, functional capacity, and overall quality of life compared to those who received traditional therapy alone. The findings suggest that incorporating Pilates exercises into rehabilitation programs may enhance outcomes for children recovering from burn injuries.
