Résumé
Childhood is critical for developing social, physical, and cognitive functioning. Burns in children are very different from burns in adults because it is difficult for them to save themselves. Their skin is more sensitive and less heat-resistant; their exposure may last longer, worsening the burn. When neglected, severe disabling and deforming contractures caused by burns in children can result in substantial impairment. Therefore, burn rehabilitation should not be carried out by one person but rather by a multidisciplinary team to ensure that all of the patients' physical, psychological, and social requirements are met while the child is in the hospital and after discharge. The treatment of young burn victims requires a multidisciplinary approach that begins the day of the accident and lasts for several years. To reduce the consequences of the patient's post-traumatic stress and increase functional independence, a thorough rehabilitation programme is needed. The burn team members' dedication, commitment to the patient's care, and encouragement of patient participation and full engagement in rehabilitation can make a difference to juvenile burn patients' long-term quality of life (QOL). We present a seven-year-old female who suffered from a superficial burn over the lateral aspect of her right thigh. Exercise prescriptions should be thoroughly customized to provide the best possible success in rehabilitation, considering the degree of burns and physical limitations. This case report is intended to serve as a practical manual for the necessary clinical knowledge and therapy intervention approaches for managing burn patients successfully.
