Abstract
Burn is an injury cause destruction of skin and underling tissue. Post burn complications are severe. Renal complications due to burn are common and present in high percentage of patients. High cost of dialysis and shortage of donors for renal transplantation put more load in finding new approaches which may help these patients. Aerobic and resisted exercises are good approach to improve renal functions and overall quality of life for these patients. This study was conducted to determine the effect of suggested physical therapy program on renal functions for burned. Thirty patients males and females with renal complications after burn injury participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 30 to 50 years. They divided into two groups, control group which include 15 patients received normal routine of medications for six weeks, and study group which include 15 patients received aerobic and resisted exercises program in addition to normal medication routine for six weeks at frequency five sessions per week. Both groups were assessed pre and post treatment for serum creatinine and albumin using laboratory analysis and fatigue assessment using . Piper fatigue Scale. There was significant difference between both groups as follow, There was a significant increase in the median values of serum albumin post treatment of study group compared with control group (p=0.0001) and there was a significant decrease in the median values of piper fatigue scale results and serum creatinine post treatment of study group compared with control group (p=0.0001). It was concluded that Aerobic and resisted exercises program using treadmill, bicycle and cuff weights has significant effect on renal functions and fatigue post burn
