Comparing two therapies for thigh strength after a burn
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of physical therapy—pulsed electromagnetic therapy and whole body vibration—to see which one helps strengthen the thigh muscles after a burn injury. It may help you recover better strength in your legs.

This study tests whether combining core stability exercises with resistance band training can improve walking problems after a leg burn. It may help you walk better and regain strength and balance after your burn has healed.
This study tests whether specific balance and core-strengthening exercises can improve your balance and stability after a leg burn. It may help you regain confidence in standing and moving after healing.
This study tests whether starting simple muscle exercises at different angles early after a burn helps your leg muscles recover better. You would do gentle exercises with your thigh and calf muscles to improve strength and flexibility.
This trial tests whether specific balance exercises, called Frenkel exercises, can help people who have burns on their legs improve their balance and quality of life. If you have healed second-degree burns on 30%-45% of your body and are able to stand, you may be eligible to participate.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with leg burns improve balance and reduce depression and anxiety. It is for people who had a large thermal burn on their lower body at least 3 months ago.
This study tests whether special jump exercises (called plyometrics) can improve leg function and knee movement in children who have healed from burns. If your child has limited knee movement from a burn, these exercises might help them move better.
