Abstract
Rationale: burn disease is a pathological condition leading to the disruption of organ and system functions, necessitating the development and implementation of comprehensive approaches to treatment and rehabilitation. The relevance of this issue is determined by the high prevalence of complications, significant rates of disability, and challenges in providing effective rehabilitation for patients with burn injuries.
Objective: to analyze modern methods of rehabilitation for burn patients, including physiotherapy, the use of biomaterials, psychological support, innovative technologies such as 3d bioprinting and telemedicine, as well as to substantiate the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach and personalized rehabilitation strategies.
Methods: the study is based on an analysis of domestic and international literature published between 2018 and 2023. Specialized scientific databases, including pubmed, scopus, and elibrary, were utilized. The analysis included high-evidence studies focused on the application of modern rehabilitation methods in burn injury treatment.
Results: data on the use of physiotherapeutic methods, including therapeutic physical training and elastic taping, innovative materials such as hydrogel dressings, and 3d bioprinting technologies for wound healing improvement were analyzed. The effectiveness of telemedicine in patient monitoring and adjustment of rehabilitation measures was reviewed. The importance of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing anxiety and depression levels in burn patients was highlighted. The significance of digital technologies, such as virtual reality, in alleviating pain and restoring motor functions was emphasized.
Conclusion: comprehensive rehabilitation for burn patients requires the integration of a multidisciplinary approach, innovative technologies, and personalized treatment methods. The application of modern technologies, such as hydrogel dressings, 3d bioprinting, and telemedicine solutions, enhances treatment outcomes but necessitates further research to standardize methods and improve their accessibility.
Keywords: burn injuries, comprehensive rehabilitation, physiotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, hydrogel dressings, 3D bioprinting, telemedicine, digital technologies.
