About

inhalation injury is very common in infants, young, children. complications of this problems are low pulmonary functions and limited mobility of main inspiratory muscle.

Full description

inhalation injury patients (children, n = 40) will be included in intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20, this device, intermittent pneumatic compression, will be used a resistive inspiratory muscle training for diaphragm muscle and the 10-set training will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only)

Enrollment: 40 estimated patients

40 participants in 2 patient groups

group A

Experimental group

Description:

intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). in this children group, intermittent pneumatic compression will be used to resist diaphragm muscle during 10-set-training session which will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only). Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.

Treatment:

Other: intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walking

group B

Active Comparator group

Description:

traditional physiotherapy group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). In this inhalation group, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only for 12 weeks. Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.

Treatment:

Other: physiotherapy and walking
