Impact of Range of Motion Exercises on Pain and Functional Ability
Sponsor: Al-Azhar University
Summary
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the effect of range of motion (ROM) exercises on pain and functional ability among adult patients of both genders with second-degree burn injuries affecting the upper and/or lower extremities. The main questions addressed by the study are: Do range of motion exercises reduce pain levels among patients with second-degree burn injuries? Do range of motion exercises improve the functional ability of burned upper and/or lower extremities among patients with second-degree burn injuries? A comparison between the study group receiving range of motion exercises and the control group receiving routine care will be conducted to evaluate the effects of range of motion exercises on pain levels and functional ability. Study participants will undergo the following procedures: Assessment of pain levels before implementing range of motion exercises. Assessment of the functional ability of burned upper and/or lower extremities before implementing range of motion exercises. Implementation of range of motion exercises for the study group according to the study protocol. Provision of routine care to the control group. Post-intervention assessment of pain levels and functional ability to evaluate changes following the intervention.

Range of Motion exercises
A structured, individualized ROM exercise program will be implemented for study group with second-degree burn injuries affecting the upper or lower extremities. The program will be conducted three times daily for three consecutive weeks. Each targeted joint movement will be repeated 10 times and maintained for 30 seconds within the available pain-free range of motion. Exercises will target the shoulders, elbows, and wrists of the upper extremities and the hips, knees, and ankles of the lower extremities, according to the location of the burn injury. The exercises will be demonstrated and supervised by the researcher during hospitalization and performed according to the study protocol
