STUDENT CORNER ORIGINAL ARTICLE: MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTROPHIC BURN SCAR: A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFICACY OF EXERCISE- PHYSIOTHERAPY AND PRESSURE GARMENT-SILICONE ON HYPERTROPHIC SCAR

Methods: Through a prospective study, 66 patients were enrolled to receive either the conventional pressure garment therapy (PGT) and Silicone (control group) or exercise and physiotherapy (case group). Patients were visited regularly to be examined for the status of their scars' regression, limbs' dysfunction, and joint motion. Then, these two groups were compared to determine the efficacy of exercise and physiotherapy as an alternative to the conventional treatment with PGT.
