Overview
Brief Summary
To investigate the potential effects of Wii fit rehabilitation programs on functional capacity, mobility, balance and muscle strength in lower limb burn patients after hospital discharge.
Detailed Description
The use of virtual reality technology in burn conditions improved joint flexibility and reduced pain associated with physical therapy, dressing changes, and wound debridement. However, the primary concern of burn rehabilitation is not only survival but also maximizing functional outcome and decreasing the time for return to work.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
high mobility assessment tool
Time Frame: after 12 weeks
used to assess mobility assessment after burn injuries. It is a valid and reliable unidimensional assessment tool which includes nine functional tasks, where 0 = inability to do and 4= able to do extremely well, with a total score of 54. Each Functional task is rated on a five-point performance scale with higher scores indicate a higher level of performance
Lower Limb Functional Index
Time Frame: after 12 weeks
a valid and reliable patient self-reported questionnaire to assess lower limb function for patients with a burn injury. It is consisted of fifteen general and ten lower-limb specific items that assess the functional status of the patients during the last 2-3 days. The scoring options for the LLFI Items are Yes=1 point, Somewhat= 0.5 point and No= 0 point. The scoring points are added and then multiplied by four for a total score of functional limitation. The total score of the LLFI ranges from 0 (maximum limitation) to 100 (no limitation or normal functional status)
Timed-up and go test
Time Frame: after 12 weeks
used to evaluate functional mobility of the patients that requires both static and dynamic balance. The TUG test is a basic mobility assessment tool which records the time taken to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, return and sit down on the chair. The TUG test was performed with a standardized instruction, asking patients to walk as fast as possible during the test. All participants performed the TUG test from a standard chair (seat height of approximately 46 cm) with back support and no arms
Secondary Outcomes
- The six-minute walk test(after 12 weeks)
- Isokinetic Muscle Strength Assessment(after 12 weeks)
- Stability Index(after 12 weeks)
