Outcomes Assessment After Hand Burns - 20/12/17
Résumé |
Accurately assessing function and disability after hand burns is imperative to improving the management of patients. The biological, social, and psychological impact of these injuries should be considered. The International Classification of Functioning Disability (ICF) and Health Core Sets for Hand Conditions provides a guide to what should be measured and reported. Although many outcomes measures instruments are available to assess patients with hand or burn injuries, few are validated in the subpopulation of hand burns. Further efforts are required to investigate the ability of current assessment instruments to evaluate hand burn outcomes within the ICF framework.
