It was put A and B group (Experimental and Control Group) to ROM, grip power, Jebsen Hand Function Test, MBI and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire. Statistical analysis of collected data was performed through SPSS Statistics 17.0, with level of significance of p<.05.
Results: 1. The three sets of ROM and grip power data indicate improvement (p<.05) in both groups, to a relatively more significant degree (p<.05) in Group (B) than Group (A). 2. As for Jebsen Hand Function Tests, Group (A)’s average was higher than Group (B).
Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate immediate rehabilitative treatment of burn victims following admission into the hospital improves the patient’s joint of motion and hand function.
