Overview

Controlled pilot study assesses game therapy impacts on functional recovery in burned patients, suggesting potential benefits compared to traditional methods.

Key Points

  • Game therapy improved palmar grip strength and functional independence level in burned patients undergoing rehabilitation.
  • Significant improvements were observed in the test group for maximal respiratory pressures and pain reduction compared to conventional therapy.
  • This controlled and randomized pilot study involved 29 patients with thoracic and upper limb burns, assessing multiple functional outcomes.
  • While results were favorable for game therapy, inter-group comparisons showed no significant differences between treatment methods.
