“…Most depictions of the chart available on the internet sum to 101%. This anomaly has been succinctly explained by Lundin and Alsbjørn [15] to be probably due to a typing error made before this seminal chart was widely distributed over the Internet. One side of each hand is 1.25% in the original instead of the commonly depicted 1.5%.…”

BackgroundThe Lund and Browder (LB) chart is currently the most accurate and widely used chart to calculate total body surface area affected by a burn injury. However, it is not easy to use charts to calculate burn percentages because of the difficulty in performing mathematical calculations with the percentages attributed to various body regions that are only partially burned. It is also cumbersome to have to perform mental calculations, especially in emergency situations.MethodsWe compared results from the LB chart with a modified Lund and Browder (MLB) chart using 10 assessors on five different burn wounds each drawn on both charts. ResultsVariability of results was significantly reduced using the MLB chart compared to the LB chart.ConclusionsAssessments performed using the MLB chart are less variable than those using the LB chart. Using this chart will help burn care providers rapidly, accurately, and reliably estimate burn extent.

“…(v) Calculating the allodynic area by uploading the scans to the ImageJ software, a Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical and Computing Instruments [ 20 ], which automatically calculates the marked area ( Figure 1 b)*. (vi) Calculating the area as a percentage of the whole body surface using the Lund and Browder [ 17 ] atlas indicating the percentage of body area relative to the whole body surface, a well-known and accepted index in the field of burns. This percentage, relative to the whole-body area, forms the QDA score (i.e., higher values indicate larger percentage of body surface), based on the following formula:…”

“…This is a six-stage protocol for measuring DMA area using a scientific image-analysis software and calculating the area as a percentage of the body surface. This protocol is anchored in the method for testing static allodynia [ 15 , 16 ] and the Lund and Browder atlas [ 17 ] (see the QDA description under Methods). This study aimed to establish psychometric properties for the newly developed QDA.…”

Background: Dynamic mechanical allodynia (DMA) is both a symptom and a central sensitization sign, yet no standardized method for quantifying the DMA area has been reported. This study aimed to establish psychometric properties for Quantitative Dynamic Allodynography (QDA), a newly developed protocol measuring the DMA area as a percentage of the body surface. Methods: Seventy-eight patients aged 18–65 diagnosed with chronic complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) participated in this study. Test–retest reliability was conducted twice, one week apart (N = 20), and inter-rater (N = 3) reliability was conducted on 10 participants. Disease severity (CRPS Severity Score, CSS), pain intensity (VAS), and quality of life (SF-36) measures were utilized to test construct validity. Results: High inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.96, p < 0.001) and test–retest reliability (r = 0.98, p < 0.001) were found. Furthermore, the QDA score was found to be correlated with the CSS (r = 0.47, p < 0.001), VAS (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), and the SF-36 physical health total (r = −0.47, p < 0.001) scores. Conclusion: The QDA is the first developed reliable and valid protocol for measuring DMA in a clinical setting and may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic measure in clinics and in research, advancing the pain precision medicine approach.
