Brief Summary:
Hands are the most frequent burn injury sites Appropriate rehabilitation is essential to ensure good functional recovery The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EMG driven robotic rehabilitation on hand functions and skin characteristics of patients with nerve damage caused by burns A randomized controlled single blind trial recruited the patients with hand dysfunction after burn injury The participants were randomly allocated to experimental group EG and control group CG for 5 days a week and totally 60 sessions for 12 weeks The EG received robotic assisted hand training with the EMG-driven exoskeleton hand robot Hand of HopeRehab-Robotics Company and conventional occupational therapy The CG performed conventional occupational therapy including hand range of motion ROM exercises and hand functional training twice a day for 12 weeks Outcome measures were as follows 10-point visual analog scale for pain Jebsen-Taylor hand function test grip strength Purdue Pegboard test joint ROMs ultrasound measurement of scar thickness and skin characteristics before and immediately after 12 weeks of treatment There is still no established protocol for burn injury rehabilitation The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EMG driven robotic rehabilitation on hand functions and skin characteristics of patients with nerve damage and scarring caused by burns
Detailed Description:
The hand represents the area of the body most common affected by burns accounting for 80 of all burn injuries The deformities and scarring that occur when the affected area is the hand can result in the loss of function such as grip strength range of motion ROM dexterity While early excision and grafting have been shown to reduce the loss of function in cases of burns up to 30 of affected joints have been found to have a limited ROMAcute hand rehabilitation tailored to the patients condition is essential after a burn injuryHowever there is still no proven hand rehabilitation protocol in burn centers new rehabilitation modalities are being attempted to improve hand functionRobot training is being attempted to improve function in musculoskeletal diseases including burnsand the researchers have confirmed the clinical effectiveness of applying a soft glove-type hand robot for hand burnsThere is still no established protocol for burn injury rehabilitation This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled single-blind case control study The participants were randomly allocated to experimental group EG and control group CG for 5 days a week and totally 60 sessions for 12 weeks The EG received robotic assisted hand training with the EMG-driven exoskeleton hand robot Hand of HopeRehab-Robotics Company and conventional occupational therapy The CG performed conventional occupational therapy including hand range of motion ROM exercises and hand functional training twice a day for 12 weeks Outcome measures were as follows 10-point visual analog scale for pain Jebsen-Taylor hand function test grip strength Purdue Pegboard test joint ROMs ultrasound measurement of scar thickness and skin characteristics before and immediately after 12 weeks of treatment The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EMG driven robotic rehabilitation on hand functions and skin characteristics of patients with nerve damage and scarring caused by burns
