Telerehabilitation program for post-burn recovery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study examines the effects of a telerehabilitation program on recovery after a burn injury. It compares a traditional physical therapy approach with a technology-enhanced method that includes a habit-tracking application and virtual therapy sessions. The goal is to improve range of motion and quality of life for burn patients. This pilot study will also assess feasibility, collect preliminary data, and gather patient feedback to inform future research.
