Early Versus Late Upper Extremity Mobilization After Autograft

NCT04132180 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 2

Last updated 2022-03-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Rationale: There is currently no observational study or randomized clinical trial published evaluating the impact of early versus late mobilization in the upper extremity after split thickness skin autograft. As the current post-operative care protocols vary based on physician preference, evidence is needed to optimize post-operative rehabilitation protocols guided by evidence which optimize wound healing, extremity range of motion, graft site pain, as well as minimize risks of complications and length of stay in hospital.

Objective: To determine if early mobilization is non-inferior to late mobilization of the upper extremity after split thickness skin autograft with regards to wound healing measured as percent graft take on post-operative day 5 in adult burn patients.

Conditions

  • Burns

Interventions

OTHER

Early Mobilization

Range of motion exercises of the upper extremity will be performed under the guidance of the physical therapy team starting on post-operative day 1.

OTHER

Late Mobilization

The patient's grafted upper extremity will be immobilized using an elbow flexion blocking splint until post-operative day 5.
