Summary

Pediatric burn survivors may experience persistent deficits in lower-limb strength, explosive power, and functional performance after hospital discharge. This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether a 12-week supervised plyometric training program improves lower-extremity muscle strength, power, and functional capacity compared with a standard exercise program in children and adolescents with severe burn injuries.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Burns
  • Burn Injury
  • Post-Burn Rehabilitation
  • Rehabilitation
  • Muscle Weakness
  • Functional Limitation

Interventions

OTHER

Plyometric Training

Participants in the plyometric training group will receive a 12-week supervised program, with each session lasting 45 minutes and designed to improve lower-extremity explosive power and dynamic functional mobility. Sessions will include a 5-minute dynamic warm-up, 35 minutes of progressive plyometric exercises targeting vertical and horizontal force production, and a 5-minute cool-down. Training will be individually supervised with safety measures including shock-absorbing flooring, cushioned footwear, technique monitoring, and standardized rest intervals.

OTHER

Standard Exercise Program

Participants in the control group will receive a 12-week supervised program, with each session lasting 45 minutes post-discharge burn rehabilitation program focusing on mobility, flexibility, aerobic conditioning, and basic lower-limb strengthening. Sessions will include warm-up, stretching, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at 50-70% of age-predicted maximum heart rate, strengthening exercises, and cool-down, with progression based on participant tolerance.
