This study aims to provide a holistic approach to burn rehabilitation that prioritizes patient care, pain management, mental health, and functional improvement. A 71-year-old woman visited the Physiotherapy Outpatient Department with the main concerns of burns on her right hand, limited movement in the fourth and fifth fingers for two months, swelling on her right hand, and wound contracture. She underwent split skin grafting at the hospital. The case study findings demonstrated the effects of physiotherapy interventions on the burn subject, specifically regarding scar formation improvement, functional ability enhancement, and pain reduction. This case study revealed that administering the mentioned workout to the individual proved advantageous, with pain decreasing on the visual analog scale (VAS) from 10/10 before to 8/10 after implementing cryotherapy, splinting technique, and active range of motion (AROM) exercise. Healthcare professionals can enhance the well-being of senior burn victims by incorporating evidence-based techniques and creative approaches in the rehabilitation process.
