Article Synopsis
- Long-term outcomes for young adults with facial burns are not well-researched, but this study tracked burn survivors aged 19-30 over 5 years using the Young Adult Burn Outcome Questionnaire.
- A composite score revealed that while facial burns initially led to worse outcomes, the differences lessened over time, especially in perceived appearance.
- Certain domains like Emotion and Sexual Function consistently remained lower for those with facial burns, while satisfaction levels fluctuated over the study period.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in speech skills of children who have hemiparesis and speech impairment after participation in a constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) program. While case studies have reported collateral speech gains following CIMT, the effect of CIMT on speech production has not previously been directly investigated to the knowledge of these investigators.
Methods: Eighteen children with hemiparesis and co-occurring speech impairment participated in a 21-day clinical CIMT program.
Objective: To determine the safety and feasibility of an early mobilization program in a PICU.
Design: Observational, pre-post design.
Setting: PICU in a tertiary academic hospital in the United States.
Restorative sleep is an important component of quality of life. Disturbances in sleep after burn injury were reported but all based on uncontrolled or nonstandardized data. The occurrence and the effect of long-term sleep problems in young adult burn survivors have not been well defined.
