Brief Summary

Evaluate the therapeutic effect of Whole body vibration and Resistance training on strength of quadriceps post lower limb burn

Conditions

Lower Limb Burn; Muscle Weakness Condition

Keywords

Burn; Whole Body Vibration; Resisted Exercise; Isokinetic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Increase in quadriceps muscle strength, assessed by an isokinetic dynamometer, which measures the peak torque of the quadriceps.

group A

EXPERIMENTAL

whole body vibration group

Device: whole body vibration

group B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

resistance exercises

Other: Resistance Exercise

Interventions

whole body vibration DEVICE

Standing in different static positions or exercising on a vibrating platform.The mechanical stimuli of vibration transmitted to the body and stimulate muscle spindles which activate the alpha motor neurons and initiates muscle contractions comparable to the ''tonic vibration reflex. The effect of WBV on the neuromuscular properties of skeletal muscles and spinal mechanisms is demonstrated by a decreased electromechanical delay.

group A

Resistance Exercise OTHER

Resistance training as a mode of exercise to promote several health benefits, including improvements in the muscle mass and strength of healthy adults.Resistance training, where muscles are required to contract against an opposing load, has been shown to be a beneficial form of rehabilitation in clinical populations prone to muscle wasting, providing stimuli to increase protein synthesis and muscle mass.
