Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a concise physical therapy acute burn evaluation tool.
  • To align evaluations with hospital physical therapy department protocols.
  • To improve the efficiency and educational value of burn patient assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new evaluation form with a primary check-off design.
  • Inclusion of additional space for specific comments.
