Integrating and monitoring hand burn rehabilitative treatment using Virtual Reality.

OBJECTIVES: Hand burn is not a common condition in the clinical practice and needs a long and laboured rehabilitative treatment to restore the lost function. METHODS: This case report illustrates the achievable improvements in mobility and function by using innovative inertial systems for occupational exercise in a Virtual Reality, in addition to a traditional rehabilitative treatment. RESULTS: Through these instruments, we could promote and concurrently assess the recovery of a functional grasp and the ability in the execution of Activities of Daily Living.
