Children who sustain burn injuries often develop long-term physical and psychological complications that limit their ability to move, exercise, and participate in daily activities. These problems commonly include reduced balance, muscle weakness, fatigue, and impaired physical performance, which may persist for several years after injury and require prolonged rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate the effects of three different exercise-based rehabilitation programs-balance training, plyometric (jump-based) training, and a combined balance and plyometric training program-on balance and physical performance in children recovering from burn injuries. A total of 84 children aged 10 to 17 years with healed lower-limb burns will be randomly assigned to one of the three training groups. Each group will participate in supervised exercise sessions three times per week for eight weeks. Balance, muscle strength, power, and agility will be assessed before and after the training period using standardized physical performance tests. The findings of this study are expected to help identify the most effective rehabilitation approach for improving functional abilities and physical performance in pediatric burn survivors during long-term recovery.
