Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of muscle function in severely burned children.

TL;DR: The results serve as an objective and a practical clinical approach for assessing muscle function and also aid in establishing potential rehabilitation goals, and monitoring progress towards these goals in burned children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of a Hospital Based Wellness and Exercise Program on Quality of Life of Children with Severe Burns

TL;DR: Matched paired t-tests revealed that parents with children in the W&E group reported significant improvements with their children'sphysical functioning, role/social physical functioning, mental health, overall physical and psychosocial functioning after exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermoregulation during exercise in severely burned children.

TL;DR: It is concluded that exercise at moderate intensities conducted at room temperature is safe in burned children with <75% TBSA burns, indicating that severely burned children do not demonstrate an impaired thermoregulatory response to 20 minutes of sub-maximal exercise at room temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole body protein kinetics measured with a non-invasive method in severely burned children

TL;DR: Total protein turnover is elevated in burned children at discharge compared to age-matched controls, possibly reflecting the continued stress response to severe burn.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature responses in severely burned children during exercise in a hot environment.

TL;DR: Hyperthermia did not typically occur in burned children, relative to nonburned children, and whether this is due to an intolerance to exercise in the heat or to an inability to generate sufficient heat during exercise needs to be explored further.
