About the Course

Treating a burned hand can be intimidating, especially when the hand has many problems such as limitations and deformities.

Where do we start?

What should we be examining?

What if we don't notice a problem?

There are many tests and assessment tools that can be used to assess range of motion, sensation, dexterity, and functions of the hand, but before using any of them, it is important to first learn how to do basic observation and physical examination of the burned hand, as this is the first step in identifying the problems and their cause.

This course will present how to carry out a thorough, well-structured and logical evaluation of the hand in order to develop a rehabilitation plan that efficiently addresses the patient's problems.
