简要总结
Balance problems are common among neuropathic patients following burns, primarily due to sensory and motor impairments.The goal of the study is to investigate the effect of a hydrotherapy program on balance in neuropathic patients following burns. It is a randomized controlled study will be conducted on fifty male patients (age range from 35 to 45 years) with polyneuropathy following lower limb burn injuries, mainly at the sole of the foot, with 3rd-degree injuries and 30% burn extent.
Balance will be assessed before and after treatment using the Biodex Balance System and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
Patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups:
Group A (study group) will receive hydrotherapy sessions including stretching, resistance, and balance exercises in water.
Group B (control group) will receive traditional land-based balance exercises only.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance assessment (Biodex Balance System)
时间窗: Balance will be assessed by bode balance system before the first session and after 12 sessions (3 months)
The Biodex Balance System is a multiaxial device that objectively measures and records an individual's ability to stabilize the involved joint under dynamic stress. It uses a circular platform that is free to move in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axes simultaneously. It can also be used for the purpose of balance training.
次要结局
- Balance assessment (Berg Balance Scale)(Berg balance scale will be recorded before the fisrt session and after 12 sessions (3 months))
