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).

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.
