Full description

Effect of constraint induced movement therapy on burned dominant hand function

We investigate the Effect of constraint induced movement therapy on burned dominant hand function by using various measurement tools :

• Hand grip strength by Hand held dynamometer
• Metacarpophalangeal joint flexion (MCP) by goniometer
• Function by michgan hand questionnaire A randomised controlled trial (2 groups) First group will receive constraint induced movement therapy (glove mitt) on sound hand .

Second group will receive the traditional treatment ( stretching - positioning ) We do the assessment before treatment and (4-8) after the start of treatment process.

Enrollment: 34 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 35 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age of patient 20 to 35
• both male and female

• TBSA less than 20%
• All patient active before injury.

Exclusion criteria

• patient with fracture
• patient with crush injuries
• patient with contralateral hand burn
• Patient with cardiovascular injury

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Sequential Assignment

Masking: Quadruple Blind

34 participants in 2 patient groups

group 1 received constraint induced movement therapy + traditional treatment

Experimental group

Description:

group 1 received constraint induced movement therapy + traditional treatment we will constraint affected hand and enforce patient to use affected side

Treatment:

Other: Constraint induced movement therapy

Other: Positioning - stretching

traditional treatment for hand burn positioning - RANGE OF MOTION

Active Comparator group
