NCT04663113

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is; To investigate the Effect of the Exercise Protocol Determined According to Metabolic Rate in Early Burn Patients on Coagulation, Fibrinolytic Activity and Functional Capacity, and to create an exercise protocol that can guide researchers working in burn patients and physiotherapists working in burn centers at national and international level. The study, which is planned to be carried out in Hasan Kalyoncu University Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, will be included in the burn patients in the 25 Aralık State Hospital Burn Center, service and intensive care unit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • D-dimer (To measure coagulation changes and Fibrinolytic Activity)

    blood test

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • fibrinogen (to measure changes in both coagulation and fibrinolytic activity)

    blood test

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • prothrombin time

    blood test

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • platelets (to measure changes in both coagulation and fibrinolytic activity)

    blood test

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • 6 min walking test

    The test involves asking the patient to walk the longest distance possible in a set interval of 6 min, through a walking course (corridor) preferably 30-m long. healthy subjects, the 6-min walk distance(6MWD) ranges from 400 to 700 m

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • physiological consumption index

    Physiological consumption index (PCI) was calculated ((walking heart rate) - (resting heart rate)) / (walking speed)\]. 1

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

  • MRC scale ( Manaul muscle test)

    Peripheral muscle strength of the upper and lower extremities will be measured manually with the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and the Modified Medical Research Council 4-point scale (MMRC). Shoulder abduction, elbow flexion and wrist extension of the upper extremity; If it belongs to the lower extremity, hip flexion, knee extension and ankle dorsi flexion will be measured in the in-bed high sitting position as a modified position specific to intensive care. Grading according to the MRC scale is between 0-5 for each muscle group: the total MRC score is between 0-60, and values below 48 indicate muscle weakness.

    Each participant will be evaluated for 6 weeks.

Study Arms (3)

Control group

OTHER

Standard physiotherapy (1st Group): It comprised of parameters such as early mobilization and ambulatory training, pulmonary physiotherapy, active and passive normal joint movement exercises.

Other: Control Group/1st group ( standard physiotherapy

Aerobic Exercises group

EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic exercise will be given with bicycle ergometer in addition to Standard physiotherapy (It comprised of parameters such as early mobilization and ambulatory training, pulmonary physiotherapy, active and passive normal joint movement exercises)

Other: 2nd group- Standard physiotherapy + bicycle ergometer

the group in which the exercise protocol to be developed was applied

EXPERIMENTAL

Standard physiotherapy + exercise protocol to be developed: In addition to standard therapy, exercise will be given according to the measured basal metabolic rate of the patients.

Other: 3rd group- Standard physiotherapy + exercise protocol to be developed

Interventions

It comprised of parameters such as early mobilization and ambulatory training, pulmonary physiotherapy, active and passive normal joint movement exercises.

Control group

Standard physiotherapy + bicycle ergometer: In addition to the standard therapy, a bicycle ergometer for 20 minutes 5 days a week will be given. Patients will turn the pedals of the bicycle while sitting on the edge of the bed. In this protocol, a portable bicycle with adjustable pedal system, which can be placed on the edge of the bed, will be used. "Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE)" will be used to determine the intensity of aerobic activity. According to the RPE, 10-12 strength exercises will be given.

Aerobic Exercises group

Standard physiotherapy + exercise protocol to be developed: In addition to standard therapy, exercise will be given according to the measured basal metabolic rate of the patients. Portable indirect calorimetry will be used to measure the basal metabolic rates of the patients. The basal metabolic rates of the patients will be measured before the exercise and aerobic exercise or resistant exercise will be given according to the metabolic state of the patient. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) will be used as the aerobic exercise protocol and a 10-11 strength exercise will be given according to the RPE. If resistance exercise will be given, the intensity of the exercise (12-14) will be determined according to the RPE. Sandbags attached to the ankle will be used as a resistance exercise and 9 exercises were determined. (Knee extension, knee flexion, trunk flexion, trunk extension, hip extension, hip flexion, hip abduction, shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction

the group in which the exercise protocol to be developed was applied
