Turkish Adaptation and Validation of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT)

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT) in adults with a history of hand burns. The participant population will include adults aged 18 years and older who have experienced unilateral or bilateral hand burns and can read and understand Turkish.The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the Turkish version of the BHOT demonstrate high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity? How strongly are BHOT scores associated with objective hand function measures such as grip strength and sensory evaluation? Participants will not be assigned to comparison groups, as this is a methodological validation study. Participants will: Complete a sociodemographic information form. Complete the Turkish version of the BHOT and the QuickDASH questionnaire. Undergo objective assessments including hand grip strength using a dynamometer and sensory evaluation using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. Participate in repeated assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for reliability analyses.

Impact of Resistance Training With and Without Venous Occlusion on Strength and Function Post (Hand Burn)

It will be hypothesized that There is There is no difference between resistance training with and without venous occlusion on hand strength and function post hand burn.

Shock Wave on Pillar Pain After Carpal Tunnel Release in Hand Burn

"In burn cases, the reported causes of CTS are increased volume of carpal tunnel content due to edema and synovitis, wrist hyperextension, tight dressing, fibrosis, and direct burn to the nerve. There are two types of pain that occur in the palm of the hand after carpal tunnel surgery: incisional pain and pillar pain. The incision pain typically only lasts for a few days or weeks after surgery, while the pillar pain occurs on the sides of the incision in the thicker parts of the palm, called the thenar and hypothenar eminences. This is where the transverse ligament attaches to the carpal bones, forming the carpal tunnel. So, in this study we will find out if shock wave therapy has therapeutic effect on pillar pain after carpal tunnel release in hand burn.
