Abstract

Background: The morbidity and death rates from burn injuries in children are considerably raised by lung issues resulting from inhalation injuries.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to ascertain how Wii aerobic exercise affected children who had inhaled injuries following thermal burns.

Methods: Children with inhalation injuries (N = 76) were split into two equal groups for this randomized controlled experiment. One group received conventional chest medical treatment along with Wii aerobic exercise. The control group, on the other hand, merely received routine chest medical treatment. Over 3 months, each patient underwent pulmonary function testing, chest expansion, the six-minute walk test, and the timed up-and-go evaluation.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at baseline assessment, but after 12 weeks of treatment, there was a treatment effect (p = 0.001 and f-value = 24.25). In the Wii aerobic group, there was a notable interaction between treatment and time, namely between pre-and post-treatment, while the control group did not show any such difference.

Conclusions: Pulmonary function tests, chest expansion, the six-minute walk test, and the time-up-and-go test are all positively impacted by Wii aerobic training.

Study registration: The study was registered with the Clinical Trials.gov (NCT06326593).

有氧训练在吸入性损伤儿童热烧伤后：一项随机对照试验。

背景：儿童烧伤的发病率和死亡率因吸入性损伤引起的肺部问题而大大提高。目的：本研究的目的是确定Wii有氧运动如何影响热烧伤后吸入性损伤的儿童。方法：将76例吸入性损伤患儿随机分为两组进行对照试验。一组接受常规胸部药物治疗，同时进行有氧运动。另一方面，对照组仅接受常规胸部医学治疗。在3个月的时间里，每位患者都进行了肺功能测试、胸部扩张、6分钟步行测试和定时起身评估。结果：两组在基线评估时差异无统计学意义，但治疗12周后出现治疗效果（p = 0.001， f值= 24.25）。在Wii有氧组中，治疗与时间之间，即治疗前后之间存在显著的相互作用，而对照组则没有这种差异。结论：Wii有氧训练对肺功能测试、胸部扩张、6分钟步行测试和time-up-and-go测试均有积极影响。研究注册：该研究已在Clinical Trials.gov注册（NCT06326593）。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
