Abstract

The current Standard of Care for the rehabilitation of severely burned children is to discharge the patient from the hospital, with a written set of instructions for physical and occupational therapy activities at home, in an unsupervised environment. These activities do not significantly impact the persistent and extensive skeletal muscle catabolism and weakness characteristic of severe burns. The central hypothesis of this grant is that a supervised anld structured aerobic and resistance exercise program implemented at hospital discharge in severely burned children will improve physical structure and function, allowing for an improvement in quality of life (QOL). We propose the following specific aims (SA): SA1 will test the hypothesis that in severely burned children, a supervised and structured exercise program will significantly increase muscle mass and bone mass more than the current Standard of Care. SA2 will test the hypothesis that in burned children,
