inhalation injury is very common in infants, young, children. complications of this problems are low pulmonary functions and limited mobility of main inspiratory muscle.
inhalation injury patients (children, n = 40) will be included in intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20, this device, intermittent pneumatic compression, will be used a resistive inspiratory muscle training for diaphragm muscle and the 10-set training will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only)

intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). in this children group, intermittent pneumatic compression will be used to resist diaphragm muscle during 10-set-training session which will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only). Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.
in this children group, n = 20, for 12 weeks, traditional physical therapy program (chest physical therapy, flexibility exercises, range of motion exercises) will be handled. Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.
