Hand burn injuries can result in devastating functional impairments and hamper quality of life. One
of the rehabilitation program components is hydrotherapy, which help in cleaning the burn surface,
debriding wounds, facilitating the separation of eschar, facilitating physiotherapy, and improving
patients' comfort. This study aimed to evaluate range of motion exercises effect during and after
hydrotherapy on patients burned hand function and pain intensity. A quasi-experimental
comparative research design was conducted on three equal group of 15 adult patients having second
degree burn of the hand (superficial and deep partial-thickness burns). Three tools were used for
collecting the data: Tool I: Burn patient Assessment interview schedule. Tool II: Burned Hand
functional assessment. Tool III: Pain Visual Analogue scale (VAS). Significant improvement was
noticed among the three groups subjects in relation wrist and finger joint measurements, manual
muscle testing, functional ability of the hand, and pain intensity. Hydrotherapy is an effective,
alternative intervention that can be used by care providers as a non-pharmacological method in most
burn centers.
