Whether a patient with burn injury is an adult or child, contracture management
should be the primary focus of burn rehabilitation throughout the continuum of
care. Positioning and splinting are crucial components of a comprehensive burn
rehabilitation program that emphasizes contracture prevention. The emphasis of
these devices throughout the phases of rehabilitation fluctuates to meet the
changing needs of patients with burn injury. Early, effective, and consistent use
of positioning devices and splints is recommended for successful management of
burn scar contracture.
