Abstract

Purpose: to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on common peroneal nerve conduction in post burn children.

Methods of Evaluation: (Measurement of motor common peroneal nerve conduction velocity).

Subjects: Forty children their age ranged from (12-18) years of both sexes suffered from severe burn covering 20% or more of the total body surface area were divided randomly into 2 groups of equal numbers. Group (A) received Oxandrolone 1mg/kg/day and 12 weeks Aerobic exercise program. Group (B) received Oxandrolone 1mg/kg/day only; all children were selected randomly from several teaching and general hospitals in Great Cairo with the children were enrolled in 12 weeks aerobic exercise program. Measurement of motor conduction velocity of was done prior and after 12 weeks. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD).

Results: Common peroneal motor conduction velocity were significantly improved after finishing exercise training than before start of training.

Conclusion: Aerobic exercise-induced enhancements in common peroneal motor nerve conduction indicates strong relation between aerobic exercise and nerve conduction.

Keywords: Aerobic exercise, Common peroneal nerve, Oxandrolone , nerve conduction study , severe burn.
