EFFECT OF PLYOMETRIC EXERCISES ON LOWER LIMB FUNCTIONS FOLLOWING PEDIATRIC BURN
Egypt52 participantsStarted 2025-04-25
Plain-language summary
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)

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
knee flexion ROM
Timeframe: measurements will be obtained before starting the treatment protocol then after one month of treatment as post I, and at the end of the treatment protocol after two months as post Post II
