Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect sensory motor training on foot weight distribution and postural stability in patients with foot burn.
Detailed Description
Pain, contractures, scars, altered sensations, muscle weakness, and postural balance impairment are potential complications of foot burn that negatively influence a person\'s ability to function normally and correlate with gait abnormalities like reduced step height and length, along with slower gait speed. These gait disturbances pose significant challenges for burn patients, affecting their mobility and overall quality of life. So, this study aims to understanding how sensory motor training can improve balance, gait, and overall functional mobility is essential for guiding the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols tailored to the unique needs of this population.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients will suffer from foot \"planter surface\" second degree thermal burn (Partial thickness).
- •Patients who have undergone skin grafting and those who have not undergone skin grafting are both eligible for inclusion in the study.
- •Patients will begin the training program after complete wound healing.
- •Patients will be given their informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients who had an open wound at or near treatment site.
- •Patients who had chemical or electrical burn.
- •Patients with specific conditions such as musculoskeletal impairments impacting independent walking (e.g., strokes, severe arthritis).
- •Uncontrolled cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases.
- •Patients with neurological, psychiatric illness, severe behavior or cognitive disorders.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Pedoscan system
Time Frame: "At baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention"
It will be used to assess the foot weight distribution. Under the guidance of the evaluator, the subjects will stand with bare feet upon a part marked on the platform with eyes closed.
The biodex balance system
Time Frame: "At baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention"
It will be used to assess the postural stability during assessment; participants will stand comfortably on the platform barefoot, with arms at their sides, for 30 seconds.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Brief Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief("At baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention")
