Abstract An exercise training program is critical to a burn patient{u2019}s long-term success. Using exercise training program will enhance IL6 levels in the body and its anti inflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of exercise training program (aerobic exercises and resistive exercises) on IL6 in burned patients. Thirty patients with age ranged from 20 to 40 years old with 15% or more total body surface area (TBSA) who suffered burn incidents at least 1week ago participated in this study. The patients were randomly selected from Matay general, Banimazar general and banimazar insurance hospitals and divided into 2 groups. group A (study group): participated in 4-week of physical rehabilitation program (resisted ex. and aerobic ex.). group B (control group): participated in 4-week of physical rehabilitation program (traditional exercise only) (stretching ex, scar rehabilitation, R.O.M and A.D.L) three times per week for both groups. Measurements of IL 6 were done using ELISA blood test and samples were collected before treatment and one month after treatment. There was no significant difference in IL6 pre study measures between both groups. Post treatment there was a significant increase in IL6 in study group compared with control group (P =0.0001). Exercise training program slow down the deterioration of IL6 plasma levels after burn which is important for maximizing the good effect of post inflammatory abilities of IL6 |
