Jumping exercises for kids with leg burns
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if jumping and hopping exercises (plyometrics) can help children with healed burns on the back of their leg move their knee better and regain strength. It's for kids ages 7–15 with a small to moderate burn area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 15 years old.
- The burn is on the back of the leg (hamstring area) and has healed (no open wounds).

This study tests whether combining core-strengthening exercises with resistance band workouts helps people walk better after a leg burn. It is designed for adults whose leg burns have healed completely within the past couple of weeks.
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 trial tests whether core stability and sensorimotor exercises help improve balance after a lower leg burn. It is for people with second-degree burns covering 20-35% of their body, once the wounds have fully healed.
This study tests whether a type of exercise called plyometric training (jumping and hopping) can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children who have mild spasticity and can walk on their own.
This study compares two non-invasive therapies—pulsed electromagnetic therapy and whole-body vibration—to see which better helps rebuild quadriceps muscle strength after a second-degree burn covering 10-25% of the body. It may be an option if you are medically stable, not pregnant, and have no other major health conditions.
This trial tests if water therapy (hydrotherapy) can improve balance in people who have nerve damage in their feet after a leg burn. It may help you if you have trouble standing steadily due to a burn on the sole of your foot.
