Mobilization practices for patients with burn injury in critical care.

Purpose: Patients with burn usually undergo prolonged hospitalization due partially to the treatment of wounds and scars. Although the benefits of early mobilization are well-known in critical care patients, there are a lack of studies reporting mobilization practices and functional status for patients with burn.

Materials: Clinical and physiotherapy data were daily collected, including ICU mobility scale (IMS) and reported barriers to mobilization therapy during a one-year period.
