Brief Summary

90 patients who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and postural imbalance following Lower Limb Burn Injury. will be selected from outpatient clinic, faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university. Patients will be assigned randomly into 3 groups of equal numbers, group A: (Study group A) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise plus selected exercise program. group B:(Study group B) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise, Group C (control group C) will receive selected exercise program .

Conditions

Lower Limb Burn Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)

  The instrument is used to quickly assess the severity of fatigue experienced by cancer patients, as well as its impact on their ability to function over the previous 24 h.he BFI is a reliable and valid tool with a low respondent burden, suitable for measuring fatigue in burn patients during the first year of recovery.

  3months

• b. The dynamic balance score

  c. The dynamic balance score that was measured by the Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical System, Shirley, NY, USA). Biodex Balance System is a valid and reliable method to assess the dynamic balance. The system has a movable circular platform that permits about 20◦ tilt in 360◦ range so it is free to move about the anterior-posterior and mediallateral directions simultaneously

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• b. The timed up and go (TUG) test

  3 months

• c. The Activities-specific Balance (ABC) scale

Study Arms (2)

group A: Baduanjin Qigong exercise plus selected exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Baduanjin exercise 3 times each week, 30- 60 minutes each time for 12 weeks. The whole set of Baduanjin exercise consists of 9 postures: (1) ready position, (2) holding the hands high with palms up. (3) posing like an archer shooting on left and right sides, (4) holding one arm aloft . (5) looking backwards to prevent sickness and strain, (6) swinging the head and lowering the body t. (7) moving the hands down the back and legs and touching the feet . (8) thrusting the fists and making the eyes glare . and (9) raising and lowering the heels . Puls Selected Exercise Program * balance exercises is composed of three phases, including warm-up, balance training and cool down. * Resisted Exercises were given according to the standardized Oxford technique of progressive resistance exercises .

Other: exercise therapy program

Patients at group B: patients will receive selected exercise program
