About this study

Early rehabilitation to partial-thickness and full-thickness dermal injury are of vital importance for burn patient. Literature reviews have shown that burn patients experiences ADL and quality of life (QOL) difficulties. Due to varied severity, the outcome and expression of each patient also differs. The limitation of body function may consequently affect social participation and QOL thereafter.
