Effects of early rehabilitation in improvement of paediatric burnt hands function

Figure 3 Photo images of patients before and after rehabilitation treatment. A and B: 1 years old boy started to receive rehabilitation treatment within 1 mo after fire burn. The fifth finger had flexion contracture before treatment (A). But the active range of motion (ROM) of metacarpophalangeal point, proximal interphalangeal point (PIP) and distal interphalangeal point (DIP) were significant improved after 6 d rehabilitation treatment (B); C and D: 8 years old boy started to receive rehabilitation treatment at 5 mo after fire burn injury. Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints had extension contracture before treatment (C). However significant improvement of active ROM of PIP and DIP was evident after 7 d treatment (D).
