N2  - Back ground and purpose: A serious problem for burn patients concerning mobility and quality of life is how the consequences of the burn injury influence the ability to participate in daily life activities. Immobility may have detrimental effects on perceived physical health the current study was done to investigate if there is a difference between X-Box 360 kinect and biodex gait trainer 2 on lower limbs function in burned patients. Patients: Forty-two post lower limbs burn patients participated in this study divided into two groups, twenty-one patients each (9 male and 12 female in each group). Their age ranged from 18 to 40 years. Procedures: In the first group, patients practiced aerobic exercises using X-Box 360 Kinect for twenty minutes a day, three times/ week for 4 weeks , while the second group patients practiced aerobic exercises using Biodex Gait trainer 2 treadmill for the same time. The functions of the lower limbs were assessed by lower limbs function index and the measurement of gait parameters using biodex gait trainer 2 treadmill. Results: The study showed a significant improvement in lower limbs functions in each group (p<0.05) by a percentage of, but no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that using either X-Box 360 Kinect or Biodex Gait trainer 2 treadmill has similar impact on improving lower limbs functions after burn
