Looking along the physiological and physical changes in aging, in the light of a major burn, co-morbidities, surgical intervention and precaution, a geriatric burn patient requires a delicate balance of ideal burn care and rehabilitation to achieve functional independence. A 70-year-old patient, with 30% total body surface area flame burn injury, underwent bilateral partial calcanectomy secondary to calcaneus osteomyelitis, and Meek micrograft technique for burn injury on bilateral lower extremities, is presented in this case report. In order to ensure good graft take, her knees were immobilized causing bilateral soft tissue contractures. Subsequently, upon initiation of ambulation, gait abnormalities observed include absence of heel off and toe off, with heel walking. The patient was admitted for intensive inpatient rehabilitation, where significant improvement in the knee range of motion and ambulation were achieved. The patient was eventually discharged ambulatory with walker. Despite expected complications, rehabilitation management proved to be beneficial in improving function and ambulation in geriatric burn patient.
