Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates scar tissue, normal range of motion of lowr extremity joints, lower extremity functions, functional capacity, functional mobility, kinesiophobia and quality of life in lower limb burn injury.
Detailed Description
Patients with lower extremity burns experience problems with range of motion, muscle strength, balance and gait. These problems contribute to prolonged physical disability, return to work or deterioration of work capacity and thus lead to a negative impact on quality of life. In addition to studies showing that quality of life and functions may be affected adversely after burn, there are studies showing that burn percentage, health-related quality of life and functional outcomes are affected. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of burn area (with or without joint), percentage of burns and hypertrophic scar on the patient's function in patients with lower extremity burns.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Lower Extremity Function
Time Frame: 10 minutes
The Lower extremity functional index is a questionnaire containing 25 items. The value of this questionnaire between 0 and 100. The higher value indicates worse physical function.
Nottingham health profile
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Nottingham health profile is a questionnaire that evaluates quality of life. he lowest and highest scores that can be obtained from each sub-dimension of the scale are 0 and 100, respectively. 0 indicates the best health status while 100 indicates the worst health status.
Secondary Outcomes
- scar tissue assessment(10 minutes)
- Tampa kinesiophobia scale(10 minutes)
- Six minutes walk test(10 minutes)
- Timed up and go test(5 minutes)
