The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect sensory motor training on foot weight distribution and postural stability in patients with foot burn.
Pain, contractures, scars, altered sensations, muscle weakness, and postural balance impairment are potential complications of foot burn that negatively influence a person's ability to function normally and correlate with gait abnormalities like reduced step height and length, along with slower gait speed. These gait disturbances pose significant challenges for burn patients, affecting their mobility and overall quality of life. So, this study aims to understanding how sensory motor training can improve balance, gait, and overall functional mobility is essential for guiding the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols tailored to the unique needs of this population.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensory-motor training group | Experimental | This group will include 35 patients with foot burns. Patients will receive sensorimotor training exercise in addition to a traditional physical therapy program in the form of stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and scar management. Exercises will be applied for 3 times a week for 8 consecutive weeks. |
|
| Traditional physical therapy group | Active Comparator | This group will include 35 patients with foot burns. Patients will receive the traditional physical therapy program only in the form of stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and scar management. Exercises will be applied for 3 times a week for 8 consecutive weeks. |

| Sensory motor training | Other | Each session will be composed of 10 minutes of warm-up, followed by 50-60 minutes of sensory motor exercises, followed by 5-10 minutes of cool down. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The Pedoscan system | It will be used to assess the foot weight distribution. Under the guidance of the evaluator, the subjects will stand with bare feet upon a part marked on the platform with eyes closed. | "At baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention" |
| The biodex balance system | It will be used to assess the postural stability during assessment; participants will stand comfortably on the platform barefoot, with arms at their sides, for 30 seconds. | "At baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention" |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The Brief Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief | Its Arabic version will be used to assess the quality of life. The Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief consists of 40 items covering nine domains related to health-related quality of life (HRQL): simple abilities, heat sensitivity, hand function, treatment regimens, work, body image, affect, interpersonal relationships, and sexuality. Responses to each item are scored on a five-point scale ranging from 0 (extremely) to 4 (not at all). Mean scores per domain are assessed, and high scores indicate a good perceived health status |
