The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint, and its proper function is essential for accomplishing a wide range of activities of daily living. Unfortunately, after a burn injury, scar contracture can cause pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. In addition, severe scar contracture and the accumulated effect of immobilization, compensatory movements or posture caused by pain can pull the shoulder joint out of its normal position, resulting in more permanent deformity and further limiting shoulder mobility. Understanding how to evaluate the burned shoulder to correctly identify problems and their cause, as well as select targeted interventions to achieve the best outcome possible is crucial when dealing with upper extremity burns.

This course will present methods to evaluate the burned shoulder, as well as discuss the various rehabilitation interventions (exercises, positioning, pressure therapy, ADL training, etc.), to allow therapists to evaluate and treat shoulder problems after burns more accurately.
