About
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration device on Balance control, postural Stability and mobility after thermal burn injuries.
Full description
40 patients with deep second-degree burn involving the lower limbs and trunk (TBSA: 35-40%), will be randomly assigned either into the experimental group, received whole body vibration (WBV) plus the routine physical therapy program or the control group, received the same routine physical therapy program. All treatment interventions will be applied at a frequency of three sessions per week for 8 weeks. Anteroposterior stability (APS), Medial lateral stability (MLS), Time up and go test (TUG) test, and Berg balance scale will be the outcome measures of the study.
