Brief Summary

Twenty-four individuals with burn injury will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic datas; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn caharacteristics; 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 GAITRite system.

  It will be measured while walking on a GITRite system. It is about 5 meters electronically sensored carpet. Inıtially evaluation at first minute

• step length

  Step Lenght assessment while walking

  Inıtially evaluation at first minute. It will be measured while walking on a GITRite system. It is about 5 meters electronically sensored carpet.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• six minute walk test

  the distance at the en of Six minute

• Timed up and go test

  Inıtially evaluation in first minute

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

EX: Standard exercise program (EX) (active range-of otion exercises, balance and mobility exercises) and walking training on the overground. This rehabilitation program physiotherapist will be applied to participants for five days a week. Walking training will be applied according to the gait speed determined by GAITRite computerized gait analysis system at initial assessment. Individuals will be instructed to walk with verbal commands and encourage them to continue their walk at constant speed.The duration of walking training will be recorded every day. The walking time will be determined according to the fatigue level of the individual. The level of fatigue of the individual will be questioned according to the modified borg scale.

Other: Gait Training

Ex +WT Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Ex: A standard exercise (SE) (active range-of otion exercises, balance and mobility exercises) WT: walking training on the treadmill (WT). This rehabilitation program physiotherapist will be applied to participants for five days a week.Walking training will be applied according to the gait speed determined by GAITRite computerized gait analysis system at initial assessment. Individuals will be trained on the treadmill.The duration of walking training and the speed of walking training will be recorded every day. The walking time will be determined according to the fatigue level of the individual. The level of fatigue of the individual will be questioned according to the modified borg scale.

Other: Gait Training

Interventions

Gait Training OTHER

Gait Training: Training will be applied by a physiotherapist on a treadmill or on an overgorund.
