简要总结
Thirty patients with unilateral burn injury, and 60 healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded. Gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle). will be recorded via computerized system. And gait symmetry will be calculated via formule. Participants' kinesiophobia level will be evaluated with Tampa kinesiophobia scale. Their pain will be assessed by visual analog scale. Their arm swing will be evaluated by a scale.
详细描述
Thirty individuals with lower extremity burn injury and sixty healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will be included if they are aged of 18-50, able to walk independently at least 10 meters. Healthy subjects will be included if there are no orthopedic, neurological or musculoskeletal disorders that affect gait.
- Group: 30 Patients with burn injury
- Group: 30 healthy subjects (When evaluating the gait analysis, their arm will not be restricted (Their natural walking)
- Group : 30 healthy subject (When evaluating the gait analysis, their arm will be restricted )
Participants will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded.
All subjects' gait analysis will be conducted via GAITRite (computerized) system.
GAITRite system for gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle), Tampa Kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain, a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental Group
Thirty subjects with unilateral upper burn injury will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. Their evaluations will be made within 5 days following burn injury.
干预措施: Gait Analysis (Other)
Control Group
Thirty healthy subjects will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. When their gait analysis made, they will be asked to walk their natural walking.
干预措施: Gait Analysis (Other)
Control Grup (Restricted arm swing)
Thirty healthy subjects will be included in this study. GAITRite system for gait analysis, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia level, visual analog scale for pain and a scale that developed by us for arm swing will be used. When their gait analysis made, their arms will be fixed with a bandage on their bodies. Their arm swing will be restricted.

结局指标
主要结局
Stance Phase
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system.The gait phase that lasts from heel strike to toe off, which accounts for 60% of a single gait cycle. It is expressed in seconds (sec) and as a percentage of the gait cycle of the same foot. It is calculated both right and left foot.
Cadence
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Rhythm expressed in steps per second.
Base support
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months.
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. It is the distance between two linescutting feet equal halves. The unit of measure is centimeters.
Gait Speed
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Speed is the distance walked per unit of time. It is determined in centimeters per second (cm/sec)
Single Support
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Only one foot in contact with the floor. It is expressed as a percentage of the gait cycle. It is calculated both right and left foot.
step length
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Difference in position between the feet at heel strike, in the direction of forward motion. The unit of measure is centimeters. It is calculated both right and left foot.
Swing phase
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Swing Phase,which accounts for 40% of a single gait cycle, the phase during which the foot is not in contact with the ground. It is expressed in seconds (sec) and as a percentage of the gait cycle of the same foot. It is calculated both right and left foot.
Double Support
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It is measured by computerized gait analysis system. Boot feet in contact with the floor. It is expressed as a percentage of the gait cycle. It is calculated both right and left foot.
Gait symmetry index
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 months
It's calculated in order to evaluate symmetry for bilateral parameters of gait. The value of symmetry index =0 equals full symmetry. Minimum score is 0 indicates perfect symmetry. Maximum score is endless. The higher score is indicated the more asymmetrica gait pattern.
次要结局
- Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale(through study completion, an average of 5 months)
- Arm swing(through study completion, an average of 5 months)
- Pain severity(through study completion, an average of 5 months)
