    Burn Rehabilitation

    • The primary purpose of physiotherapy after simple surgeries is to reduce pain, prevent infection, and improve mobility and function.
    • Common causes of burns include friction, chemical exposure, and radiation.
    • Gentle range of motion exercises are the most appropriate during the early phase of burn rehabilitation.
    • The Rule of Nine's helps determine the percentage of body surface area affected in burn treatment.
    • Wound closure in burn rehabilitation typically occurs during the acute phase.

    Complications of Burn Injuries

    • Compartment syndrome is a potential complication of burn injuries, characterized by painful buildup of pressure around muscles.
    • Early mobilization is important after simple surgeries to prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis, muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and to promote faster recovery and return to normal activities.

    Physiotherapy Goals

    • The three primary goals of physiotherapy during the chronic phase of burn rehabilitation are:
    • Improving range of motion and flexibility
    • Enhancing strength and endurance
    • Minimizing scar tissue formation and preventing contractures

    Burn Classification

    • First-degree burns involve only the epidermis
    • Second-degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the dermis
    • Third-degree burns involve all layers of the skin

    Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Plan

    • Key components of the physiotherapy rehabilitation plan for a full-thickness burn on the arm include:
    • Initial assessment
    • Wound care
    • Pain management
    • Edema control
    • Range of motion exercises
    • Strengthening exercises
    • Scar management
    • Functional training
    • Psychological support

    Cancer Rehabilitation

    • Common side effect of cancer treatment that rehabilitation aims to address is profound fatigue
    • The type of surgery that involves the removal of the entire breast is a mastectomy
    • The primary goal of physiotherapy in the first stage of post-operative rotator cuff repair rehabilitation is pain control and inflammation management
    • Exercises recommended for improving shoulder mobility post-mastectomy are active range of motion (AROM) exercises
    • Lymphedema is a potential complication after breast cancer surgery
