Effect of pressure garment work gloves on hand function in patients with hand burns: a pilot study.

This study aims to compare the effects of pressure garment work gloves (PGWGs) and standard-pressure garment gloves (SPGGs) on functional hand use in individuals with hand burns. A quasi-experimental, repeated-measure design was used. Each glove was worn for one week prior to testing.

Rehabilitation of the burned hand: questionnaire results.

Burns to the hand can cause anatomical and functional limitations due to burn sequelae and treatment obstacles that arise during the rehabilitation process. A questionnaire consisting of four open-ended questions was distributed at the 1993 American Burn Association Breakfast Session, "Rehabilitation of the Burned Hand." The questionnaire was designed to gather information regarding common postburn deformities and treatment obstacles that occur in the acute and postacute phase of burn rehabilitation.
