The most common aftereffect of severe burns in patients is hypertrophic scarring. Hypertrophic scars typically form following burns; it refers to excessive collagen production the dermal layer during healing process, resulting an abnormal raised scar. Currently, practical treatments for suppressing include laser therapy, pressure and application silicone sheets moisture retention. extensively used treatment involves compression therapy using specially designed garments affected areas....
Abstract Burn injuries often result in severe hand complications, including joint contractures and nerve damage, sometimes leading to amputation. Despite early treatment, hypertrophic scarring frequently hampers function recovery, the thick raised scar blocks electromyography (EMG) sensing. A promising solution involves motion-mimicking robotic finger prostheses tailored individual patient requirements. By using versatility of motion-capturing technology on a sound finger, prosthesis can...
Patients with lower extremity burn injuries have decreased gait function. Gait dysfunctions are compensated by activation of executive areas such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Although robot-assisted training (RAGT) can improve function, mechanisms RAGT unknown. We aimed to determine clinical effects in patients burns and investigate their underlying mechanisms.
Background: Joint contractures and nerve injuries are common after hand burns. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is effective not only for the regeneration of various tissues, including scar but also reducing pain pruritus in patients with Researchers have attempted to explore effects ESWT on dysfunction caused by injury following Materials methods: We evaluated (compared sham stimulation) hands hypertrophic scars thereby function. The current study was a double-blind randomized...
