A systematic review was conducted to determine the efficacy of different hand therapy programmes in the management of burnt hands. Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search using the PubMed and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases for original articles reporting effectiveness of hand therapy programmes for adults with burns. Only randomized and non-randomized controlled trials were selected using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Demographic and clinical data including medical history, burn depth, and hand therapy programme were extracted. Outcome measures were reviewed based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework for acute, convalescence, and chronic phases of rehabilitation. Sixteen articles and 15 hand therapy programmes were identified, which included studies showing improvements in different parameters in the framework. In the acute and convalescence phases, improvements were found in health condition, body functions and structures, activities, and participation. In the chronic phase, improvements were shown only in body functions and structures. Environmental factors in the framework were not reported for all the phases. This review demonstrated the efficacy of hand therapy programmes in adults with burns in terms of the health condition, body function, activities, and participation during acute and convalescence phases but only the body function in the chronic phase.}, pages = {689--704}, title = {A systematic review assessing the effectiveness of hand therapy programmes in adults with burns using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework}, volume = {84}, year = {2022} }
