RESUMO

One of the main goals in the rehabilitation process of patients with burn to their hands is their return to society and their professional occupation, which has a direct positive influence on these patients' quality of life. The goal of this research project was to investigate the effect of early intervention with occupational therapy in patients with burns to their hands. The study included 30 patients with second or third degree hand burns. Patients were added to the study 12 days after their burn wounds and grafted areas had healed. They had 3 sessions of occupational therapy per week for 8 weeks. These sessions included active and passive range of motion exercises, active resistive exercises, stretching exercises and practicing activities of daily living. Functionality of the hand was assessed before and after the 8 weeks of occupational therapy using the DASH questionnaire. The average initial DASH score before intervention with occupational therapy was 60.9, and after 8 weeks of occupational therapy it was 33.9 (average difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention DASH scores is 27 points, p < 0.001). After 8 weeks of occupational therapy, patients performed activities of daily living with a lot less difficulty, and an increase in functionality of the hands was observed. This study suggests that early intervention with rehabilitative therapies is advantageous and may result in improved hand function.


Un des buts de la rééducation des patients aux mains brûlées est la réinsertion à la société et au travail, ce qui a une influence directe sur leur qualité de vie. Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer l'effet de l'introduction précoce de l'ergothérapie dans le programme de rééducation de 30 patients brûlés des mains (2ème et 3ème degrés). Ce programme, comprenant 3 séances d'ergothérapie hebdomadaires pendant 8 semaines, débutait 12 j après la cicatrisation. Les séances comportaient des exercices moteurs actifs et passifs, des exercices actifs contre résistance, des étirements et des exercices mimant les mouvements de la vie quotidienne. Les capacités fonctionnelles des mains étaient évaluées avant et en fin de programme, en utilisant le questionnaire DASH. Il était initialement de 60,9 et de 33,9 en fin de programme (différence 27 points, p< 0,001). Après 8 semaines d'ergothérapie, les patients avaient beaucoup moins de difficulté à réaliser les gestes de la vie courante et on observait une augmentation des capacités fonctionnelles des mains. Cette étude suggère que l'introduction précoce de l'ergothérapie peut permettre une amélioration de la fonction des mains brûlées.
