Q

high compression is contraindicated w/ ABI ____

A

ABI < 0.7

All sustained compression is contraindicated w/ ABI , 0.6 or active DVT

19
Q

hyper vs hypotrphic scare

A

hyper - raised scar that stays within the boundaries of the burn wound

hypo - flat and depressed below the surrounding skin

20
Q

keloid scar
- who is it more common in?

raised scar that extends beyond the boundaries of the original burn wound and is red, raised, and firm
- more common in young women and those w/ dark skin

21
Q

goals for burn rehab

A

  • reduce edema
  • prevent predictable contractures through positioning and splinting
  • prevent or reduce complications of immobilization
22
Q

common deformity and what to stress w/ burn: anterior neck

A

common deformity is flexion

stress hyperextension position w/ firm cervical orthosis

23
Q

common deformity and what to stress w/ burn: shoulder

A

common deformity is flexion and pronation

stress extension and supination; position in extension w/ posterior arm splint

24
Q

common deformity and what to stress w/ burn: elbow

A

common deformity is a claw hand

stress wrist extension, MP flexion, PIP, DIP extension, thumb abduction

25
Q

common deformity and what to stress w/ burn: hip

27
Q

common deformity and what to stress w/ burn: ankle

A

common deformity is PF

stress DF; position in splint w/ neutral ankle

28
Q

red flags for burn rehab

A
  • postgrafting: discontinue exercise for 3-5 days to allow grafts to heal
  • avoid shearing and avoid prolonged dependent positioning
29
Q

viable vs nonviable wound bed dressing

A

viable - choose dressing that promotes moist wound healing and fills dead space

nonviable - choose the best type of debridement to remove necrotic tissues, slough, or bioburden
