Balance exercises for better movement after burn injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 60 years old (or meet trial age range if different).
- Have a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 30 (a bit overweight).
- Have second-degree thermal burns (from heat) over 30% to 45% of your body, affecting your legs.
- Your burn wounds must be fully healed with no open areas.
- You should be able to stand and walk either on your own or with just a little help, and be able to join balance exercises.
- You must not have other major health issues like uncontrolled heart or lung disease, cancer, or serious vision/hearing problems.

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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
