Burns MultipleNCT06737991
Effects of Chest Expansion Exercises on Thoracic Expansion and VO2 Max in Children With Chest Burn
A study testing Range of motion exercises in people with Burns Multiple, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Burns are injuries to the skin or tissues caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. They can result from flames, hot solids, or liquids. In intensive care, physiotherapy often includes sitting exercises, passive motions, and active training, which are essential for recovery after burns. Read more about this study

About this study
Burns are injuries to the skin or tissues caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. They can result from flames, hot solids, or liquids. In intensive care, physiotherapy often includes sitting exercises, passive motions, and active training, which are essential for recovery after burns. This study aims to evaluate the impact of chest expansion exercises using a stretch pole on chest expansion and VO2 max in children with chest burns. Conducted as a quasi-experimental study at Jinnah Burn Centre in Lahore, it will involve 33 participants selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Data collection will span six months. Thoracic expansion will be measured with an inch tape, and VO2 max will be calculated using a specific formula. Routine physiotherapy, including range of motion exercises and soft tissue massage, will be administered alongside chest expansion exercises for 20 minutes daily, five days a week, over three weeks.

Burns are a kind of injury that can occur to the skin or other tissues. Acute trauma can be brought on by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, radiation, or other factors. Burns are a kind of injury that can occur to the skin or other tissues. Acute trauma can be brought on by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, radiation, or other factors. Burn are many types of burn Flames (flame burns), hot solids (contact burns), or hot liquids (scalds). Sitting out of bed, passive motions, and active/assisted exercises were frequent physiotherapy therapies in the intensive care unit. After a burn injury, exercise training serves as a significant and useful technique for achieving physical health. The objective of this study is to check the effect of chest expansion exercises by using stretch pole on chest expansion and VO2 max in children with chest burn. This study will be a Quasi-Experimental study .Data will be collected from Jinnah Burn Centre, Lahore. Data will be collected within 6 month from approval date of synopsis. Sample size is 33. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used in this study. Thoracic expansion will be measured by inch tape and vo2 max will be calculated by using a formula. Routine physiotherapy will be provided to the subjects routinely with chest expansion exercises. In routine physiotherapy, Range of motion exercises, Soft tissue massage, positioning to prevent the pressure sores will be provided for almost 20 minutes. The chest expansion exercises will be provided to the patients by using stretch pole for 20 minutes. All the interventions will be given to patients for 5 days in a week on daily basis for 3 weeks

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Chest Expansion
Chest expansion refers to the increase in chest cavity size during breathing, essential for effective lung function and oxygen intake.
Measured: 6 months
VO2 Max
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize during intense exercise, reflecting aerobic fitness and cardiovascular health.
Measured: 6 months
