The Mechanical Properties of Burned Muscles

Hasan Kalyoncu University37 enrolled

Overview

The investigate of mechanical properties of muscles in burned patients.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Stiffness

Myotonometric measurement was used to determine for muscle stiffness. Device has a probe that creates constant pre-excitations and generates short-term, low-force mechanical stimulations over skin. The stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the myoton device records these oscillations with an accelerometer. Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness are calculated separately by the device.

Time frame: 6 week

Elasticity

Myotonometric measurement was used to determine for muscle elasticity. Device has a probe that creates constant pre-excitations and generates short-term, low-force mechanical stimulations over skin. The stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the myoton device records these oscillations with an accelerometer. Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness are calculated separately by the device.

Time frame: 6 week
