No results posted yet for this study

Summary

No study has investigated the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on hand function and hypertrophic scar characteristics. To investigate ESWT effects on burned hands, the investigators compare the results of ESWT combined with manual therapy group to the results of matched conventional(CON) rehabilitation combined with manual therapy group.

Conditions

  • Hand Burn

Interventions

OTHER

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy

ESWT was conducted using the Duolith SD-1® device (StorzMedical, Tägerwilen,Switzerland) with an electromagnetic cylindrical coil source for the focused shock wave. ESWT was performed around the primary treatment site at 100 impulses/cm2, an energy flux density(EFD) of 0.05 to 0.30 mJ/mm2, frequency of 4Hz, and 1000 to 2000 impulses were administered at 1-week intervals for 4 sessions.
