简要总结
The purpose of the study is to evaluate which is more effective pulsed electromagnetic field therapy or whole-body vibration on quadriceps strength after chronic burn
详细描述
Severe burn is associated with excessive muscle wasting and atrophy. Muscle wasting is defined as unintentional weight loss of 5%- 10% of muscle mass, and severely burned patients are reported to lose up to 25% of total body mass acutely. (Dirks et al., 2016). These are worsened by deconditioning (eg, prolonged bed rest, immobilization, and inactivity). (Baker et al., 2007).
Furthermore, the need of this study is developed from the lack in the quantitative knowledge and information in the published studies about the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and whole-body vibration on quadriceps strength after chronic burn.
This study will be designed to provide a guideline about the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and whole-body vibration on quadriceps strength after chronic burn

主要结局
Assessment of change on quadriceps muscle strength using hand-held dynamometer
时间窗: at baseline and after 6 weeks
The study involves a bolster positioning to ensure a 35° knee flexion angle, verified using a goniometer. Participants are instructed to maintain their knee in contact with the bolster, with the dominant leg flexed at the hip and knee to stabilize the pelvis. Hips and buttocks are kept flat on the couch, and knee contact is maintained to maintain the angle. Participants are asked to push maximally against the pad to straighten their leg from the knee.
