Core Tip
Core Tip: Functional reconstruction and rehabilitation are dynamically developing processes. Burn rehabilitation treatment should encompass the whole process from the time of the injury to when the patient returns to society, and appropriate rehabilitation measures should be taken at different stages of burn treatment. Rehabilitation therapists should systematically study clinical knowledge related to burns and explore the timing and use of various rehabilitation treatment techniques with clinical treatment to improve their professional level of rehabilitation. Moreover, the establishment of a national burn rehabilitation society and other academic organizations to further promote the popularization, development, standardization and improvement of burn rehabilitation treatment is warranted.
