Brief Summary

This paper describes a pilot clinical study designed to compare changes in ROM, muscle strength and functional recovery of the upper limb during the inpatient treatment period of burn injury.

Conditions

Burn of Upper Limb, Except Wrist and Hand

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Upper limb range of motion

  A range of motion assessment evaluates the mobility of the injured joint and assesses the limitations of the range of motion.

  Day 0, 7,14,21, 28, 35, more 35 days

• Upper limb muscle strength

  Assessing muscle strength helps determine how much muscle strength will be lost as a patient heals from a burn injury.

  Day 0,14,35, more than 35 days

• Pain intensity

  The pain rate scale assesses the intensity of pain. A higher score indicates a higher level of pain.

  Day 0, 7,14,21, 28, 35, more than 35 days

• Activities of daily living

  Assessment of daily activity assesses the limitations of your daily activities. Higher scores associated with greater independence in daily activities.

  Day 0,14,35, more than 35 days

• Functional recovery of the upper limbs

  Assesses impairment and activity limitation, as well as a restriction of leisure and work activities due to upper limb dysfunction. A higher score indicates a higher degree of disability.

  Day 0,14,35, more than 35 days

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients were invited to participate in the study when they came to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Kaunas Clinics, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, for treatment of burns to the upper limb(s) or upper body. Data for this analysis were collected in 2020-2022.

You may qualify if:

• patients aged 18-69 years
• had burns on the upper limb(s) with or without burns on the upper body
• burns involving ≥ 10% total body surface area (TBSA) with the presence of deep partial thickness or full thickness burns
• who agreed to take part in the study

You may not qualify if:

• inability to perform or understand tests
• other injuries (fractures, brain injury)
• central and peripheral nervous system disorders
• amputation
• with burns on the head, hands, feet, and genital area
