Summary

The investigate of mechanical properties of muscles in burned patients.

Detailed description

The hypermetabolic response to severe burn is characterized by muscle protein catabolism. Current opinion states that the hypermetabolic state resolves soon after complete wound closure. Clinically, we have witnessed that burned patient appear to be hypermetabolic and catabolic long after full healing of their wounds. Our goal in this study was to determine muscle mechanical properties (tone, stiffness and elasticity) after burn.

Conditions

• Burns
• Muscle Loss
• Viscoelastic Properties
• Stiffness

Interventions
