Brief summary: Evaluate the therapeutic effect of Whole body vibration and Resistance training on strength of quadriceps post lower limb burn

Detailed description: Study Design:

This randomized controlled trial will include 60 patients suffering from partial thickness burns. The patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups, with each group consisting of 30 patients.

Study Explanation:

A verbal explanation about the importance of the study, its procedures, main aims, and conceptual approach will be provided to every patient.

Study Procedures:

The procedures of this study will be divided into two main categories: evaluation procedures and treatment procedures.

Evaluation Procedures:

Evaluation will be conducted using isokinetic dynamometry for all patients both before and after the study.

Treatment Procedures:

First Group: Patients in the first group will receive whole body vibration therapy.

Second Group: Patients in the second group will undergo resisted exercises.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

The subject selection will be according to the following criteria:

* Age range between 25-40 years.
* Male and female patients will participate in the study.
* All patients have burn of 30% to 40%.
* All patients have burn at lower limb
* All patients have second degree burn
* All patients have no chronic diseases.
* All patients enrolled to the study will have their informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

The potential participants will be excluded if they meet one of the following criteria:

* Prosthesis;
* Any neurological, musculoskeletal,or other chronic disease
* Participation in an outside resistance training programs
* Recent fracture or bone injury
* Any medication that could affect strength adaptations and adversely affect the results of the study
* Previous brain injury
* Any disease affecting balance, vestibular or visual disorders
* History of epilepsy.
* Cardiac diseases.
* Burn of sole of foot.
* Exposed foot tendons.
* Severe osteopathy.
* Marked anemia (Ht\<25%).
* Serious peripheral vessel disease
* Acute medical problem at study onset.
