  • Title: Burn rehabilitation: an overview.
    Author: Esselman PC.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 2007 Dec; 88(12 Suppl 2):S3-6. PubMed ID: 18036978.
    Abstract:
    Burn injuries result in significant physical and psychologic complications that require comprehensive rehabilitation treatment and coordination with the acute care burn team. This interdisciplinary rehabilitation treatment is focused on preventing long-term problems with scarring, contractures, and other problems that limit physical function. Adequate pain management and recognition of psychologic issues are important components of treatment after burn injuries. Burn injuries present significant barriers to community integration, but many people can successfully return to work and other activities.
