NCT ID NCT07590557
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week program of supervised jumping and plyometric exercises could help children aged 10-18 recover leg strength and power after severe burns. 62 participants were split into two groups: one did the plyometric program, the other did standard exercises. The goal was to see if the jumping exercises led to better muscle strength and functional performance.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, exercise-based way to help children regain strength and mobility after severe burns.
