Study about the Effectiveness of Serial Stretching in Post Burn Elbow and Knee Flexion Contracture
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Burn injury is a systemic illness and its severity is usually assessed, if not by patient’s survival, by the consequence of the burn injury i.e. scar hypertrophy, contracture and structural deformities due to loss of body components. Body deformity is closely related to the magnitude of the injuries i.e. extend and depth of injury, mode of intervention, physiotherapy and follow-up care. Formation of Scar tissue at the wound site and contraction of the scar tissue are the normal consequence of an injury. Although the exact mechanism accounting for the sequential change in wound healing and scar formation remain incompletely understood, wounds with infection and or allowed to heal spontaneously tend to form scar that are thickened and contracted circumferentially, mediated by various fibrogenic cytokines especially TGF.
