“…In a previous study by Mohammed H et al 27 adult 2nd degree burned patients showed gradual improvement of the upper limbs' function measured through DASH scale after application of physiotherapy protocol, this appear through significant decrease in complain from severe dysfunction among 25.9% after 2 months to 0% after 6 months. 16 These findings highlight that the upper limbs' function post burns could be improved by preventive nursing interventions including early range of motion, anti-contracture positioning and splinting of hand. 16 We also noted that children aged 6-12 years and adolescents aged 13-18 years showed satisfactory outcomes of surgical procedures as compared to adults aged more than 18 years.…”

In children contractures released were better resurfaced with full thickness skin grafts due to reduced secondary contraction compared with split thickness skin grafts.…”
