简要总结
This study will be done to evaluate effect of applying LED before hand exercise on hand grip strength. Sixty male patients with subacute partial thickness burn of hand will be randomly allocated into two equal groups of 30 patients. The following equipment and tools will be used
Measurement equipments:
- For total active motion of fingers (TAM): Goniometer.
- For hand grip strength: Hand grip dynamometer.
Therapeutic equipment:
Light emitting diode therapy (LED) device.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Total active ROM from baseline to 6 weeks posttreatment
时间窗: baseline and 6 weeks posttreatment
Total active ROM is the sum of the active metacarpophalangeal (MP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and distal interphalangeal (DIP) arc of motion in degrees of an individual digit. The measurement will be performed via a hand-held finger goniometer
Changes in hand grip strength from baseline to 6 weeks posttreatment
时间窗: baseline and 6 weeks posttreatment
A calibrated hydraulic JAMAR (Model: 5030J1, Sammons Preston Rolyan, Chicago, USA), analogue hand-grip dynamometer will be used to measure grip strength. The device provides 1 kg increments on the measurement dial which faces the assessor as mentioned by Clifford et al., 2013.
