Brief Summary

This project will develop a descriptive database of patient information and patient outcomes. This database will be used to determine the association of time spent in rehabilitation and patient outcomes, to relate patient acuity to burn scar contracture development and to establish minimal time requirement guidelines for various rehabilitation patient outcomes.

Conditions

Burns

Keywords

Burn; Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measure patient outcome in terms of time devoted to rehabilitation

  Standard information that is recorded as part of daily routine in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with burn injury will be used as data to analyze patient outcomes

  At discharge

Study Arms (1)

Post-Burn Rehabilitation

Patients with an acute burn injury who are admitted to the hospital with anticipated length of stay of 5 days or greater

Other: Routine post burn rehabilitation therapy

Interventions

Routine post burn rehabilitation therapy OTHER

No testing outside of routine clinical rehabilitation will be performed

Post-Burn Rehabilitation
