Lower-limb muscular strength, balance, and mobility levels in adults following severe thermal burn injuries
Journal of Burn Care & Research Sep 16, 2017
Omar MTA, et al. - This research aspired to ascertain the effect of severe burn injuries on lower-limb muscular strength, balance, and mobility level in adults. Compared with matched nonburned control subjects, patients who had severe burns (burned TBSA ≥ 40%) demonstrated muscular weakness, limited balance, and mobility levels between 16 and 24 weeks after discharge from the hospital. These outcomes could guide therapists in creating rehabilitation programs that focused on the specific difficulties faced by burned patients.
