Functional Exercise Capacity in Children With Electrical Burns

Oral electrical burns in children-early treatment and appliance fabrication

A case report of an electrical burn oF the lips in a 22-month-old child is presented. The principles oF early medical and dental treatment and the sequence of appliance Fabrication are detailed. The appliance Fabrication utilized in this case is unique because it is an intraoral treatment approach to a commissural burn in a child that had not yet erupted primary second

Functional electrical stimulation in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is defined as the electrical stimulation of muscles that have impaired motor control, in order to produce a contraction to obtain functionally useful movement. It was first proposed in the 1980s as a treatment option in children with cerebral palsy (CP). FES is used to achieve a direct orthotic effect during gait, for example, by triggering the dorsiflexo...

Exercise and functional capacity after myocardial infarction.

This paper summarizes the literature on the effects of both inpatient and outpatient exercise programs on functional capacity in patients categorized as having mild, moderate, severe and very severe left ventricular damage after myocardial infarction (MI). Current evidence suggests that inpatient activities of daily living programs do not improve functional capacity as measured by a predischarg...

Exercise capacity of children with pediatric lung disease.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary function of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is similar at rest even though the mechanisms of injury differ. We sought to compare the peak exercise responses in children with BPD versus CF while controlling for pulmonary impairment, nutritional status, gender, age, height, and predicted forced expired volume in 1 second (approximately ...
