Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Managing axillary burns with an Aeroplane Splint has been known for its effectiveness for years. However, poor compliance in using the various models of currently available aeroplane splints leads to an inadequate outcome, because of the discomfort produced not only in wearing but also while ambulating within the community. In developing countries like India the biggest barrier to environmental accessibility is the presence of multiple permanent structures like narrow thoroughfares, entry/exit sites of public transport, and narrow aisles. These pose a challenge to rehabilitation professionals while prescribing large splints. An attempt to target these problems was made by Manigandan et al, but aeroplane splints, even the one described by them does not deal with the major problem of aesthetic appeal as identified by many of our patients. Accordingly this article presents a new model of the aeroplane splint with innovative changes, focussing on aesthetic appeal while maintaining all the benefits of the splint described by Manigandan et al. |
