    Study Notes

    Physiotherapy for Pressure Ulcers, Scars, and Burns

    • Pressure ulcers are areas of cellular necrosis that occur over bony prominences due to factors such as advanced age, neurological involvement, drugs, radiotherapy, and metabolic diseases like diabetes.
    • The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Classification categorizes pressure ulcers into four stages based on the extent of skin damage.
    • Preventive measures against pressure ulcers include risk assessment using Braden and Norton scales, frequent postural changes, protection of high-pressure areas, skin hydration products, stabilization of posture with pillows, and massage therapy and lymphatic drainage in pressure areas.
    • Physiotherapy protocols for pressure ulcers involve ultraviolet irradiation, magnetotherapy, and TENS.
    • Scars' healing is influenced by factors such as blood supply, infections, foreign bodies, quality of tissue rest, approximation of edges, and size of lost skin.
    • Scar types include linear and vicious (hypertrophic), and they can cause limited range of motion, functional impotence, pain, and aesthetic issues.
    • Physiotherapy objectives for scars include making the tissue more flexible and stimulating the generation of elastic fibers, which can be achieved through thermotherapy prior to mobilization and massage, massage therapy, mobilization of the affected joints, capacitive radiofrequency, US and TENS, hydro-thermo-kinesitherapy, and elastic and functional bandaging.
    • Burns are skin injuries caused by heat, radiation, radioactivity, friction, electricity, or contact with chemical products, and their severity is determined by their depth and size.
    • Superficial partial-thickness burns are limited to the epidermis, while deep partial-thickness burns involve the epidermis and dermis and require physiotherapy intervention.
    • Full-thickness burns destroy all epidermis and dermis and may also damage sub-dermal layers, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle, requiring skin grafting surgery and PT protocol.
    • Physiotherapy for burns involves two periods: the early stage, which focuses on pain control, edema control, stretching/mobilization, positioning, and improving cardiovascular and respiratory capacity, and the later stage, which aims to achieve a high level of function and reduce impairments, focusing on gait manipulation and psychological support.
    • Physiotherapy interventions for burns include oedema control through compression pressure garments, bandages, and rhythmic pumping, postural care to avoid cutaneous adhesions, positioners, active stretching and mobilization several times a day, and biological dressing.
