An interventional study of Resistance exercise in Burns, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-02-15.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Resistance training will be performed for 8 weeks with thrice-weekly sessions on non-consecutive days. The program will consist of seven exercises: triceps press, biceps curl, lat pull-down, calf raise, leg press, leg extension and sit-ups using dumbbells and sandbags. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes and consist of a 5-minute warm-up with stretching followed by a resistance exercise that will be done as a circuit, ending with a 5-minute cooldown. The 1 repetition maximum (1RM) is measured at baseline and following the intervention. Initially, participants will do two circuits using 50% of their 1RM and repeat them 10 times for the first and second weeks, progressing to two circuits, using 60% of their 1RM and repeating 10 times for the third and fourth weeks. In the fifth and sixth weeks, participants will do three circuits using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. In the last two weeks, patients will do three circuits using 70% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. A 90-second rest will be allowed between sets of exercises (Hallsworth et al., 2011).
Sixty patients who have partial thickness burn with burned body surface area (BBSA) about 30% to 50% will participate in this study after their release from intensive care unit. Their ages will be ranged from 20 to 45 years. The participants will be selected from Orabi hospital and randomly distributed into two equal groups.
1. Group A (Study group): This group includes 30 burned patients who will receive resistance exercises 8 weeks (3times/week) by using dumbbells and sand bags in addition to their physical therapy program (splinting, stretching ex. and ROM ex.) and medical treatment.
1. Group B (Control group): This group includes 30 burned patients who will receive their physical therapy program (splinting, stretching ex., strengthening ex. and ROM ex.) and medical treatment.

Procedure: Resistance exercise
This group includes 30 burned patients who will receive their physical therapy program (splinting, stretching ex., strengthening ex. and ROM ex.) and medical treatment.
The program will consist of seven exercises: triceps press, biceps curl, lat pull down, calf raise, leg press, leg extension and sit-ups using dumbbells and sand bags. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes and consist of a 5-minute warm-up with stretching following by resistance exercise that will be done as a cir¬cuit, ending with 5-minute cool down. The 1 repetition maximum (1RM) is measured at baseline and follow¬ing the intervention. Initially, participants will do two circuits using 50% of their 1RM and repeat them 10 times for the first and second weeks, progressing to two circuits, using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times for the third and fourth weeks. In fifth and sixth weeks, participants will do three circuits using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. In the last two weeks, patients will do three circuits using 70% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. A 90-second rest will be allowed between sets of exercises.

No study locations are listed for this record.
Start is estimated for Feb 2023; primary completion for Apr 2023, 2 months later.
Of 188 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Burns, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 204 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 39.
