Intermittent-pneumatic Compression in Inhalation-injury Children: Effects on Diaphragm Mobility and Pulmonary Function

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Inhalation Injury
• Interventions: Other: physiotherapy and walking; Other: intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walking

• Registration Number: NCT05915494
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

inhalation injury is very common in infants, young, children. complications of this problems are low pulmonary functions and limited mobility of main inspiratory muscle.

Detailed Description

inhalation injury patients (children, n = 40) will be included in intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20, this device, intermittent pneumatic compression, will be used a resistive inspiratory muscle training for diaphragm muscle and the 10-set training will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only)

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
group B	physiotherapy and walking	traditional physiotherapy group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). In this inhalation group, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only for 12 weeks. Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.
group A	intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walking	intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). in this children group, intermittent pneumatic compression will be used to resist diaphragm muscle during 10-set-training session which will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only). Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.
