Causes of Burns

Burn injuries can occur due to various reasons, including:

  • Thermal Burns– Caused by fire, hot liquids, or steam.
  • Electrical Burns– Resulting from electric shocks or faulty wiring.
  • Chemical Burns– Exposure to strong acids, alkalis, or hazardous chemicals.
  • Radiation Burns– Caused by prolonged exposure to radiation, including UV rays (sunburns).

Symptoms of Burn Injuries

Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the burn and may include:

  • Radiation Burns– Common in first-degree burns.
  • Blisters & Peeling Skin– Indicative of second-degree burns.
  • Scarring & Skin Tightness– Leading to mobility restrictions.
  • Nerve Damage & Loss of Sensation– In severe third-degree burns.
  • Joint Stiffness & Muscle Weakness– Due to prolonged immobility and scar formation.

Treatment for Post-Burn Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation aims to restore function and prevent long-term disability. Treatment includes:

  • Scar Management: Techniques like massage, pressure garments, and laser therapy to reduce thick scars and improve skin elasticity.
  • Stretching & Mobility Exercises: To prevent contractures (tightened skin & joints) and improve range of motion.
  • Pain Management: Heat therapy, TENS, and other physiotherapy modalities for relieving discomfort.
  • Strength Training: Helps regain muscle strength after prolonged inactivity.
  • Hydrotherapy & Splinting: Used to enhance movement and support healing tissues.
  • Psychological Support: Therapy sessions to help patients cope with trauma and regain confidence.

While accidents can happen, following these safety measures can minimize the risk of burns:

  • Avoid Direct Contact with Fire & Hot Liquids – Use protective gloves and kitchen safety practices.
  • Be Cautious with Electrical Appliances – Avoid faulty wiring and overloading sockets.
  • Handle Chemicals Safely – Use protective gear when dealing with acids or cleaning agents.
