ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different treatments to see which one helps improve leg strength in people who have experienced burns. Specifically, it compares pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and whole-body vibration therapy to find out which is more effective in boosting the strength of the quadriceps muscle after a burn injury.

To participate in the trial, you need to be between 25 and 40 years old and have a second-degree burn covering 10% to 25% of your body. It's important that you are generally healthy and stable when you join the study. However, individuals with certain health conditions, such as heart problems, diabetes, or those who are pregnant, cannot participate. If you decide to take part, you can expect to receive one of the therapies and have your leg strength assessed throughout the study. This research aims to find better ways to help burn survivors regain their strength and improve their recovery.
