Protocol summary

Study aim
Design and evaluation of the impact of active video games on joint range of motion, pain intensity, and motor function in children with burn injuries
Design
Randomized controlled clinical trial whose statistical population will be 60 children aged 5-15 who have burns of less than 30% of the whole body and second degree burns. Stata software version 17 will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The location of the project will be in the burn department of Imam Reza Hospital (AS) in Mashhad.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
No visual impairment Absence of medical contraindications for doing practices (for example, epilepsy and cognitive disorders, orthopedic, cardiovascular problems, infection, hand amputation), which will be examined by a pediatrician. A child aged 5 to 15 years who has TBSA<30% and has second degree burns on the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. Existence of informed consent
Intervention groups
The intervention group will perform exercises through Xbox Kinect games based on the burn location. Children in the intervention group will play the games designed by the research team using the Xbox Kinect game console twice a day at 11 am and 5 pm. The location of the game console and TV for playing designed games will be one of the rooms of the burn department. The distance of children from the TV screen will be 1.5 to 2 meters and the duration of their exposure to the screen will be 15 to 30 minutes.
Main outcome variables
Range of motion (ROM) will be assessed using a gunya. Children's performance will be evaluated with the 30-item, 9-domain ASK (The Activities Scale for Kids) self-report questionnaire, and children's pain intensity will be evaluated with the Wong-Baker FACES® scale. In both groups, range of motion and pain intensity score will be evaluated daily and at the time of discharge, and children's performance at the time of discharge.

Randomization description
The researcher selected the eligible patients as available and after introducing himself and providing explanations regarding the purpose of the research and the working method to them and obtaining informed consent, assigning them to the intervention and control groups randomly using the software. Stata (stata) version will be done. Then, permuted blocks with sizes 4 and 2 will be produced by a statistician with the help of Stata software version 17. To hide the allocation of each block, it will be placed in an envelope. After completing each sampling with the envelope, the envelope is discarded and the next envelope will be opened.

Other design features
This research has two stages. In the first stage, by using the guidelines and applying the opinions of relevant specialists, the upper body exercises are prepared and short films are made based on them. Then these films will be used to make active video games. The second phase is a randomized controlled clinical trial, to investigate the effect of active video games on joint range of motion, pain intensity and performance of children with burns.

Rehabilitation

2

Description
Control group: The control group will receive standard exercises based on the location of the burn (equal to the number of sessions of the test group). Children in the control group will receive standard physical therapy that includes daily targeted therapy aimed at maintaining normal ROM and muscle strength, preventing contracture formation and facilitating normal activities of daily living (ADLs) and activity according to protocols set in It is the burn part. In the control group, after warming up for 15 minutes, children play games like the one designed in Xbox Kinect for 15 to 30 minutes in the playroom with game equipment.
