Insulin Resistance and Resisted Exercise Post Burn

October 21, 2024 updated by: Mahmoud Saeed Abd El Aziz Gobara, Cairo University
The main objective of the present study is to assess the effect of the resisted exercise on insulin resistance post burn.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A burn injury represents the fourth most common type of trauma globally, though it is associated with the most devastating consequences. Severe burn injuries, encompassing 20% of the total body surface area (TBSA) in adults, present a unique challenge compared with other forms of trauma given the magnitude and persistence of systemic deregulation. Indeed, an extensive inflammatory response develops immediately following a severe burn to promote wound healing. This period, known as the "ebb" phase, is comparable with a fight-or-flight response and lasts for the first 72-96 h post injury .

Moreover, burn-induced muscle catabolism places a significant burden on the recovery process, as a 10%-30% loss impairs immune responses and delays wound healing, thereby increasing the risk of infection, and a 40% loss becomes fatal. Despite a mountainous effort to prevent muscle catabolism and wasting. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathophysiology and consequences of burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting is pivotal to alleviating hyper metabolism and reducing morbidity and mortality patients with severe burns .

Hence, extensive burn injury produce clinical syndromes characterized in part by "insulin resistance, it is unclear if these insulin resistant states are identical. To test if the maximal biological effectiveness of insulin is altered in burned patients

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group A: (Study group) who have insulin resistance and who will receive resisted exercise
This group includes 34 patients who have insulin resistance and who will receive resisted exercise
Rehabilitative exercise training will be performed as previously described. All exercises will be performed using free weights, elastic bands and variable-resistance machines. Modifications to exercises will be made when appropriate depending on the patient injury characteristics. The load will be gradually increased from 50-60% of 3RM at the beginning of the program up to 80-85% of 3RM (repetitions maximum) at the end of the program. All exercise sessions will be preceded by a 5-minute warm-up at <50% VO2peak. No strength training activities will be permitted outside the supervised training session; however, both groups will be encouraged to maintain normal daily activities
No Intervention: Group B: (Control group) who have insulin resistance and who will receive routine medical treatment.
This group includes 34 patients who have insulin resistance and who will receive routine medical treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the outcome of resisted exercises on the improvement of HOMA-IR test results for patients who have around (20% - 40%) of total body surface area (TBSA) burned.
Time Frame: baseline

sixty-eight patients, who have upper limb and trunk burn. Their ages will be ranged from 18-35 year old. Only patients around (20% - 40%) of total body surface area (TBSA) burned. The participants will be selected from government hospitals (General and insurance hospitals) and randomly distributed into 2 equal groups (group A, group B).

HOMA-IR analysis measurements:

All measurements will be taken before the treatment program, 6 weeks after the beginning of treatment program and 12 weeks after the beginning of the treatment program.

Assessment of insulin resistance:

• By doing HOMA-IR analysis. HOMA-IR test was performed for both groups before the treatment program, after the 6 weeks of the treatment program and after 12 weeks of the treatment program to evaluate the progression of insulin resistance in both groups.

The HOMA score of <1.9 was considered as indicator of "Insulin sensitivity"; 1.9 to 2.9 as indicator of "Low IR" and >2.9 as indicator of Significant IR
