Brief Summary

Sixty patients with 25-45 years of age presenting post burn inhalation injury, randomly distributed into two equal groups, 30 patients for each group. control group receive conventional chest physiotherapy (diaphragmatic respiratory exercises, apical breathing exercises) for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment. study group will receive pilates exercise in addition to their conventional chest physiotherapy for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment, computerized spirometer assessment before treatment are ( The following variables were measured: forced vital capacity (PVC%) and forced ·expiratory volume in one second (FEVl %) and peak expiratory flow (PEF %)and after one month

Detailed Description

Two groups of sixty patients (thirty patients in each group) of both sexes of inhalation injury post burn are selected randomly to participate in the study.

The patients will be divided into two equal groups in number:

* Group (A) study group: this group includes 30 patients who have postburn inhalation injury will receive conventional chest physiotherapy (diaphragmatic respiratory exercises, deep inhalation exercises, and respiratory exercises associated with shoulder flexion movements and extension of the upper limbs, assisted cough, circulatory exercises and early ambulation) and medical treatment and pilates method.

* Group (B) control group: this group includes 30 patients who have postburn inhalation injury will receive conventional chest physiotherapy (diaphragmatic respiratory exercises, deep inhalation exercises, and respiratory exercises associated with shoulder flexion movements and extension of the upper limbs, assisted cough, circulatory exercises and early ambulation) and medical treatment.

* computerized spirometer assessment before treatment are ( The following variables were measured: forced vital capacity (PVC%) and forced ·expiratory volume in one second (FEVl %) and peak expiratory flow (PEF %)and after one month

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of Pulmonary Function (spirometry)one month

Spirometric evaluation had been undertaken on pre-rehabilitation. The following variables were measured: forced vital capacity (PVC%) and forced ·expiratory volume in one second (FEVl %) and peak expiratory flow (PEF %), by spirometry (ZAN 100 Handy 11- TB 100 E006) with the subject upright sitting or lying in the supine posture

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of anthropometric parameters.before spirometer test

Before spirometry testing, height and weight should be determined to find the body mass index essential in spirometry test. Standing height was measured in centimeters with· a measuring scale. Weight was measured in kilograms on a standardized weighing machine
