Introduction[edit | edit source]
The importance of rehabilitation of burn injuries has been increased due to the improved short and long survival rate of people with large burn. Burns to the hands decline the chances of functional recovery and quality of life, especially when included in larger burns[1]. Successful outcomes following hand burn injury require an understanding of the rehabilitation needs of the patient. Rehabilitation of hand burns begins on admission, and each patient requires a specific plan for range of motion and/or immobilization, functional activities, and modalities. The rehabilitation care plan typically evolves during the acute care period and during the months following injury[2].
