Those with conditions that increase risk, in other trials, or with compliance issues due to psychiatric conditions can't join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a tele-rehabilitation program designed for post-burn recovery. It aims to see how effective this remote rehab method is when participants use technology like smartphones or computers from their homes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves tele-rehabilitation, there may not be direct medical side effects; however, potential issues could include discomfort during exercises or technical difficulties with using the rehabilitation software.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: A Standard of Care group (SOC) combined with technology enhancementExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will receive standard of care education by the physical or occupational therapist regarding performance of the prescribed movements prior to discharge. Participants will undergo additional training in the use of a goniometer to measure range of motion at home and record the measurement once a week for 6 months. Participants will engage in 4 virtual sessions as well as wear a Fitbit
