STAT: Standard Therapy Plus Active Therapy to Improve Mobility, Long-Term Activity, and Quality of Life for Severely Burn-Injured Patients After Skin Graft Surgery

Abstract

Objective: To investigate a systematic and measureable rehabilitation protocol (STAT) that emphasizes active therapy early in burn recovery compared to standard therapy (ST) to improve overall outcome and return to work or active duty for burned patients. Specific Aim 1: Compare the functional exercise capacity between burn patients who undergo skin grafting surgery and receive STAT rehabilitation to those who receive ST alone. Specific Aim 2: Compare long-term physical activity outcomes (functional task, daily activity and gait quality) between burn patients who receive STAT rehabilitation versus ST alone. Specific Aim 3: Compare Return to Work Duty and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of burn patients who receive STAT rehabilitation versus ST alone. Specific Aim 4: Compare the incidence of medical and post-surgical complications between patients who receive STAT rehabilitation versus ST alone. Major findings: None to date
