Abstract
To determine the Efficacy of kinesiotaping and night splint in adductor contracture of thumb post hand burn. Forty patients who undergone adductor contracture of thumb post hand burn were participated in this study. They were randomly assigned to two groups of twenty patients each. group Awere received KT and night splint for 8 weeks, KT change every five days, use I stripe as figure of eight around thumb and involve wrist. Night splint wear every night and put on anti contracture position so put on abduction position which allow to increase Range of motion, put on stretching position so increase muscle length. Patients in the second group receive standard physical therapy protocol only (source of heat, tens, ultrasound and exercise).Visual analogue scale, range of motion for thumb and wrist and hand function were evaluated before starting the treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment. The kinesiotape and night splint effective than physical therapy protocol only on adductor contracture of thumb post hand burn in the form of high decreasing visual analogue scale, high increasing range of motion and hand function. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that KT and Night splint effective than PT protocol only for the reduction of pain, improve ROM and hand function after 8 weeks from treatment
