ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special online rehabilitation program can help people recover after suffering from burns. The goal is to see if using technology, like smartphones or tablets, can improve the recovery process for adults who have been treated for burns that affect their joints.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 79 years old, have been treated for a burn at the Blocker Burn Unit, and have access to the internet through a device like a phone or computer. You should also be willing to follow the study's instructions. If you have certain medical conditions or are currently taking part in another clinical trial, you may not be eligible. If you join, you can expect to engage in activities and exercises designed to help improve your recovery from the burn. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help researchers understand better ways to support burn recovery.
