INSTOPP Mentorship - Management of the Burnt Hand

ABOUT

Join us and seasoned Occupational Therapist, Leandi Daling for an insightful mentorship sessions on how to deal with the management of burns on a hand.

Inadequate hand function equates to 95% impairment rating of the involved extremity. Burns to the hand often results in a debilitating outcome. The aim is to inform the surgeon, therapist and nurse how to prevent deformities commonly associated with burns to the hand. Data gathered is a review of current practice of the management of burns in the emergent, acute and rehabilitation phase.

The presentation will include practical tips and tricks for the surgeon and therapist on how to splint the hand based on the anatomy of the hand and physiological principles of tissue healing.

Other treatment modalities that will be reviewed include: positioning, pressure garments, exercise programs, work hardening and facilitation to return to work.
