About

This study evaluates the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury on the week that they will be discharge from the hospital. Healthy subjects will be evaluated for pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength.

Full description

Burn injures have adverse effect on the respiratory system.In addition to burn injury prolonged hospitalization may increase the ratio of respiratory complications. But, there are no information in the literature about pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury. Especially, when the patients are discharged from the hospital, it is not known whether the patients are at the same level in terms of pulmonary functions respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength with healthy individuals. This study will assess pulmonary functions respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury compared to healthy subjects.
