Impact of Whole-body Vibration Training on Muscle Flexibility and Fatigue After Lower Extremity Thermal Burn Injury

Early Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Lower Extremity Burns

• Registration Number: NCT06787716
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Tight hamstring muscles limit the anterior tilt of the pelvis in spinal flexion resulting in aggravated muscle and ligamentous tension in the lumbar region which leads to significantly higher compressive loads on the lumbar spine. Other postural changes associated with tightness of the hamstrings can influence the sacroiliac joint stability in an indirect way. Hence, flexibility of hamstring muscles is crucial for overall well-being and optimal physical fitness.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Active Knee Extension Test:	12 weeks	Active knee extension test: The knee extension angle was measured using a standard goniometer. The goniometer was placed at the lateral epicondyle of the femur, with one arm aligned with the femur and the other with the tibia.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Straight Leg Raising Test	12 weeks	The straight leg raising test will be used to determine the hip flexion angle by using a standard goniometer. The fixed arm will be parallel to the table, while the other will point to the lateral femoral condyle and malleolus. At the point of discomfort, the goniometer will be oriented with the movable arm toward the lateral malleolus.
Electromyography for Quadriceps Muscle	12 weeks	Electromyography will be used to assess the activity of the following muscles at baseline then at the end of the 12 weeks intervention: Vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris.
Electromyography for Hamstring Muscles	12 weeks	Electromyography will be used to assess the activity of the following muscles at baseline then at the end of the 12 weeks intervention: Biceps femoris and medial hamstrings.
