Abstract
Background; Exercise is a key component of burn rehabilitation across all phases of care. This study aimed to; assess burn patient’s affected upper-arm region joints function, design and implement range of motion exercise program and evaluate the effect of implementing range of motion exercise program on improving upper-arm region joints function for burned patients. Research design; pre / post test research design was utilized. Setting; the study was conducted in Burn Unit at Assuit University Hospital. Sample; (30) adult patients (male & female) admitted to the burn unit at Assiut University. Ages ranges from 18 to 65 years. Tools; for data collection included; first tool; Patient’s assessment, Second tool: Joints function assessment (pre, post). Results; There was a statistical significance difference as regard patient range of motion on upper-arm region joints in pre / post program implemntation (p < 0.005). Conclusion; upper- arm region joints function was improved among patients who received range of motion exercise program. Recommendation; simple instruction hand book should be available for burned patients.
