Brief summary
This project will develop a descriptive database of patient information and patient outcomes. This database will be used to determine the association of time spent in rehabilitation and patient outcomes, to relate patient acuity to burn scar contracture development and to establish minimal time requirement guidelines for various rehabilitation patient outcomes.
Interventions
OTHERRoutine post burn rehabilitation therapy
No testing outside of routine clinical rehabilitation will be performed
