简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of plyometric exercise on improving lower limb function after a pediatric burn.
Hypothesis:
It will be hypothesized that:
There will be no effect of plyometric exercise on changing lower limb functions after pediatric burn .
52 children with lower limb burn will participate in this study will receive traditional physical therapy program in the form of range of motion exercises , stretching, and strengthen exercises 3 sessions per week, eight successive weeks.
will receive plyometric exercise and traditional physical therapy program for 3 sessions per week, eight successive weeks .
Measuring Equipment:
- Goniometer: for measuring knee flexion ROM
- Hand-held dynamometer for measuring of hamstring muscle strength
- Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)
详细描述
Therapeutic equipment:
Plyometric exercise:
Plyometrics is defined as the exercises that enable a muscle to reach maximum force in a short period of time. Plyometric training is a series of explosive body weight resistance exercises using the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) of the muscle fiber to enhance physical capacity such as speed, strength, and power. It is a quick, powerful movement involving pre-stretching the muscle tendon unit followed by a subsequent stronger concentric contraction
Therapeutic procedure:
Plyometric exercise procedures:
