An interventional study of Physical function assessment in Burns, Burn Scar and Lower Limb Injury, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-08-26.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Screening
This study evaluates scar tissue, normal range of motion of lowr extremity joints, lower extremity functions, functional capacity, functional mobility, kinesiophobia and quality of life in lower limb burn injury.
Patients with lower extremity burns experience problems with range of motion, muscle strength, balance and gait. These problems contribute to prolonged physical disability, return to work or deterioration of work capacity and thus lead to a negative impact on quality of life.
In addition to studies showing that quality of life and functions may be affected adversely after burn, there are studies showing that burn percentage, health-related quality of life and functional outcomes are affected. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of burn area (with or without joint), percentage of burns and hypertrophic scar on the patient's function in patients with lower extremity burns.
5,056 studies on the registry are indexed under Wounds and Injuries; 861 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 42 is below the median of 52 across 3,239 interventional studies indexed under Wounds and Injuries.

Exclusion Criteria:
Forty patients with burn injury will be evaluated in this study. Lower extremity function, functional capacity, functional mobility, quality of life an scar tissue will be evaluated.
Other: Physical function assessment
Physical function assessment is a tool to evaluate mobility levels of patients
Lower Extremity Function
The Lower extremity functional index is a questionnaire containing 25 items. The value of this questionnaire between 0 and 100. The higher value indicates worse physical function.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Nottingham health profile
Nottingham health profile is a questionnaire that evaluates quality of life. he lowest and highest scores that can be obtained from each sub-dimension of the scale are 0 and 100, respectively. 0 indicates the best health status while 100 indicates the worst health status.
Time frame: 10 minutes
scar tissue assessment
The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale consists of the total score of two numeric scales measured by the patient and a qualified observer. Each scale assesses the scar by six characteristics on 10-point scales with a 1 corresponding to normal skin and a 10 representing the worst imaginable condition for that characteristic. The Total Score of both scales is calculated by summing scores of the six items resulting in a range of 6 to 60.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Tampa kinesiophobia scale
This scale consists of a 17-item self-report questionnaire that measures the fear of re-injury because of movement. Items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 "strongly disagree" to 4 "strongly agree". The total scores for scale range from 17 to 68. Maximum score means higher level of kinesiophobia.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Six minutes walk test
It was evaluated by six minutes walk test.The 6-min walk test is a submaximal exercise test that entails measurement of distance walked over a span of 6 minutes. The distance will be recorded. The higher distance is indicated better exercise capacity.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Timed up and go test
Timed up and go test evaluates dynamic balance of participants. The timed up and go test measures the time that a patient needs to stand up from a chair, walk a 3-m distance, come back and sit back on the chair.Timed up and go test measure is second. The lower values indicates the better balance
Time frame: 5 minutes
