About the Course

Due to their complexity, hand burns can sometimes be difficult to manage. Depending on their location, depth, and stage of healing, hand burns will require different types of intervention. This course will provide you with key knowledge and principles to choose the right interventions, as well as decide the appropriate frequency and intensity when developing an individualized rehabilitation strategy for each patient, and thus prevent or correct problems such as scar contractures and hand deformities.
