Abstract

Background: Burn injury represents a significant problem worldwide Flexion contracture of the elbow is a common sequela of burn injury may affect activities of daily living, such as grooming, dressing, eating, and bathing, as well as fine motor tasks.
          Aim: To investigate the effect of Mirror Therapy (MT) in management of Post-burn Elbow Contracture (PEC) in Adolescent.
          Participants and Methodology: Thirty children with Post-burn Elbow Contracture were enrolled in this study after the assessment of their eligibility. Their age ranged from 14-18 years. They were assigned randomly into two groups equal in numbers. Group (I) received a traditional physical therapy program, and group (II) received MT in addition to the same traditional physical therapy program. Both groups received treatment protocols three times / week for four successive weeks. Electrogoniometer was used to assess the range of motion (ROM) of elbow joint; also The Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) was used to measure of quality of life after a burn. All measurements were collected before and after four successive weeks of applying the different treatment protocols.
          Results: Post-treatment findings, revealed a statistically significant improvement in all measured values of ROM of elbow flexion, as well as UEFI outcomes in both groups in favor of MT group (P< 0.05).
          Conclusions: Mirror Therapy can provide a great statistical significant effect in management of Post-burn Elbow Contracture in Adolescent.
