Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- History of clinically diagnosed scar contracture following thermal burns.
- Presence of scars (≥6 months post-burn) to ensure stability for accurate assessment.
- Scars located on functionally mobile areas (e.g., limbs) where extensibility impacts daily activities.
- Willingness to undergo a standardized physical therapy intervention.
- Ability to provide informed consent and comply with all study procedures.
Exclusion
- Active infection, unhealed wounds, or unstable scars at the assessment site.
- Diagnosed systemic diseases affecting collagen synthesis or wound healing (e.g., scleroderma, uncontrolled diabetes).
- History of experimental or non-standard scar treatment within the last 3 months.
- Severe cognitive impairments or communication barriers that interfere with understanding or participation.
- Pregnant or lactating women, due to hormonal influences on tissue healing and collagen metabolism.
- Concurrent participation in other physical therapy or rehabilitation studies targeting scar management.
