Childhood is critical for developing social, physical, and cognitive functioning. Burns in children are very different from burns in adults because it is difficult for them to save themselves. Their skin is more sensitive and less heat-resistant; their exposure may last longer, worsening the burn. When neglected, severe disabling and deforming contractures caused by burns in children can result in substantial impairment. Therefore, burn rehabilitation should not be carried out by one person but rather by a multidisciplinary team to ensure that all of the patients' physical, psychological, and social requirements are met while the child is in the hospital and after discharge. The treatment of young burn victims requires a multidisciplinary approach that begins the day of the accident and lasts for several years. To reduce the consequences of the patient's post-traumatic stress and increase functional independence, a thorough rehabilitation programme is needed. The burn team members' dedication, commitment to the patient's care, and encouragement of patient participation and full engagement in rehabilitation can make a difference to juvenile burn patients' long-term quality of life (QOL). We present a seven-year-old female who suffered from a superficial burn over the lateral aspect of her right thigh. Exercise prescriptions should be thoroughly customized to provide the best possible success in rehabilitation, considering the degree of burns and physical limitations. This case report is intended to serve as a practical manual for the necessary clinical knowledge and therapy intervention approaches for managing burn patients successfully.
童年对于社交、身体和认知功能的发展至关重要。儿童烧伤与成人烧伤有很大不同,因为他们很难自救。他们的皮肤更敏感,耐热性更低;他们暴露的时间可能更长,会使烧伤情况恶化。若被忽视,儿童烧伤导致的严重致残和畸形挛缩会造成严重损害。因此,烧伤康复不应由一人进行,而应由多学科团队开展,以确保在患儿住院期间及出院后满足其所有身体、心理和社会需求。对年轻烧伤受害者的治疗需要多学科方法,从事故发生之日起持续数年。为减轻患者创伤后应激的后果并提高功能独立性,需要一个全面的康复计划。烧伤治疗团队成员的奉献精神、对患者护理的投入以及鼓励患者参与并全力投入康复,会对青少年烧伤患者的长期生活质量产生影响。我们介绍一名七岁女性,其右大腿外侧遭受浅度烧伤。应根据烧伤程度和身体限制,全面定制运动处方,以在康复中取得最佳效果。本病例报告旨在作为一本实用手册,介绍成功管理烧伤患者所需的临床知识和治疗干预方法。
