The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of participating in a tele-rehabilitation program after a burn.
This is a prospective single center randomized trial comparing a traditional approach to physical therapy to a technology-enhanced approach following a burn. We hypothesize that with the implementation of a novel telerehabilitation program incorporating technology enhancement, range of motion and quality of life can be improved. To test the hypothesis in future grant applications, this pilot study will be used to determine feasibility, collect preliminary data, vet endpoints, and gain patient feedback. To achieve these necessary goals, we will compare two methods of supporting home performance…
