[Rehabilitation of the burnt hand].

Injuries to the hands occur disproportionately more frequently in thermal accidents. The aim of ICF-oriented rehabilitation of burn injured hands is to return as much sensory and gripping functionality as possible or to develop everyday practical compensation mechanisms. Often the expectations of functionality and aesthetics for the burn injured are clouded by the clinical picture of edema, epithelial defects, contractures and hypertrophic scarring but, multimodal therapy options and interdisciplinary thinking are the means by which the rehab team can address and alleviate these concerns.
