Organizational principles of medical rehabilitation of burned people

Burn injury is a serious medical, social, and economic problem and has attracted a great deal of attention from surgeons and trauma surgeons. Advances made in the treatment of patients with deep and extensive burns over the past three decades have contributed to a reduction in mortality, but have led to an increase in the number of disabled persons. Most of the disabled are of active age, so their rehabilitation is essential for the restoration of the country's workforce. At the same time, the issues of rehabilitation of burned persons and treatment of postpartum scars require further study. A difficult problem is rehabilitation of patients who received burns in childhood, as well as those who suffered from post-burn hand deformities. Until now there are no generally accepted regulations for medical rehabilitation of patients with burns, its principles, objectives and methods have not been developed. There are different points of view on the timing of the beginning of the rehabilitation period.
