Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of plyometric exercise on improving lower limb function after a pediatric burn.

Hypothesis:

It will be hypothesized that:

There will be no effect of plyometric exercise on changing lower limb functions after pediatric burn .

52 children with lower limb burn will participate in this study will receive traditional physical therapy program in the form of range of motion exercises , stretching, and strengthen exercises 3 sessions per week, eight successive weeks.

will receive plyometric exercise and traditional physical therapy program for 3 sessions per week, eight successive weeks .

Measuring Equipment:

* Goniometer: for measuring knee flexion ROM
* Hand-held dynamometer for measuring of hamstring muscle strength
* Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)

Conditions

  • Lower Limb Function
  • Lower Limb Burn

Interventions

OTHER

plyometric exercise

Plyometric exercise procedures: Patients in group (B) will receive Plyometric exercise : Traditional physical therapy program for 20 to 30 minutes and 30 to 45 minutes of training program consisted of 6 lower extremity plyometric exercises for eight weeks . Wall jumps : Knees slightly bent, arms raised overhead, bounce up and down off toes . Tuck jumps : From standing position, jump and bring both knees up to chest as high as possible Squat jumps : Standing jump raising both arms overhead, land in squatting position touching both hands to the floor Single leg jump distance : One-legged hop for distance . Scissors jump : Start in stride position, jump and alternate position in midair . Bounding in place : Jump from 1 leg to the other straight up and down.

OTHER

Plyometric exercise procedures:

The traditional physical therapy program will be in the form of (active knee range of motion exercise and stretching and strengthen exercise of hamstring) three times a week for eight successive weeks of treatment in 20 to 30 minutes to complete:- Active range of motion exercises for knee joint: This type of exercise was performed in the following manner: Knee flexion : From prone lying position. The child will asked to Slowly bend his knee by pulling heel to buttocks as far as he can . he should feel a gentle stretch in his thigh muscles and knee. Return to starting position. Knee extension : From sitting position at the edge of the plinth the child will asked to move his feet up word toward the ceiling as far as he can then return . he should feel gentle stretch on the hamstring muscle . Hip and knee bend:
