Study Description

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (PRCT) involving 50 adult burn survivors. This study tests the efficacy of a technology-assisted rehabilitation program against current standard of home therapy. There are two study groups for which subjects will be randomized: control and experimental.The control group will receive treatment as usual, which includes a personalized home exercise program prescribed by a burn therapist, prior to hospital discharge. The experimental group receives treatment as usual, in addition to training and use of the Jintronix platform for 3 months after hospital discharge. Participants will undergo their prescribed therapy regimen for 3 months, with outcomes follow-up to 12 months post-discharge.
