Practical sessions will facilitate collaboration between rehabilitation and nursing for cutaneous functional unit measuring, functional dressing application and splinting, and optimal positioning utilizing materials readily available in any hospital setting. All sessions will focus on the importance of collaboration between rehabilitation and nursing to optimize the burn survivor’s functional outcomes.
Objectives of this session include
