Rehabilitative Exercise Training for Burn Injury

Abstract

Due to improvements in acute burn care over the last few decades, most patients with severe burns (up to 90% of the total body surface) survive. However, the metabolic and cardiovascular complications that accompany a severe burn can persist for up to three years post injury. Accordingly, there is now a greater appreciation of the need for strategies that can hasten recovery and reduce long-term morbidity post burn. Rehabilitation exercise training (RET) is a proven effective treatment to restore lean body mass, glucose and protein metabolism, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscle strength in burn survivors. Despite this, very few hospitals incorporate RET in programs to aid the rehabilitation of patients with severe burns. Given that RET is a safe and efficacious treatment that restores function and reduces post burn morbidity, we propose that a long-term exercise prescription plan should be considered for all patients with severe burns. In this literature review, we discuss the current understanding of burn trauma on major organ systems, and the positive benefits of incorporating RET as a part of the long-term rehabilitation of severely burned individuals. We also provide burn-specific exercise prescription guidelines for clinical exercise physiologists.

Sports Auxiliary Training Based on Computer Digital 3D Video Image Processing

“…Secondly, according to the needs, the typical characteristic area shall be selected as the relevant sample data for classification. These samples are stored in the corresponding training network to save the results, and corresponding data recognition is performed through feature acquisition [ 15 , 16 ]. During the actual processing process, feature samples can be selected according to corresponding needs and demands, and training iterations can be performed to realize feature visualization.…”

Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Management on Burn Injury: A Case Report

“…Mainly, it is necessary to teach the patient about the right movements before starting the exercise to achieve the training program's goals. 14 Mobilization exercises are considered the safest ROM maintenance exercise with minimal side effects in burn patients. A previous study performed mobilization on intensive care unit (ICU) patients, revealing that mobilization exercise had a more significant positive impact than ROM exercise alone.…”

Advances in the treatment of burned children

“…In the future, active exercise will allow not only for early motor recovery, but also for prevention or minimization of the much-feared retractions. In addition, physical activity improves metabolic response in these patients (28) .…”
