Abstract

Background

Despite the use of traditional rehabilitation methods, hand function may still remain impaired in children suffering from burn injuries.

Purpose

This study aimed to assess the impact of implementing an augmented reality (AR) rehabilitation booklet designed for pediatric hand burn on their hand functionality.

Study design

This was a randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Seventy-two children, aged 8-14 years with a hand burn, were randomly allocated into intervention (n = 36) and control (n = 36) groups. Children in the control group received routine rehabilitation program, while in the intervention group, children performed exercises using a printed booklet with related AR application. The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test was completed before the intervention at the time of the patients' discharge and 1 month later.

Results

The results of analysis of covariance based on baseline- and fully-adjusted models showed significant intervention effect after discharge as well as after intervention for hand function (mean difference [95% confidence interval] for discharge: −8.2 [−15.0 to −1.4] and for after intervention: −74.0 [−88.8 to −59.1]) and the items (all p < 0.05), except for writing and lifting large light objects for both after discharge and after intervention measures (all p-value > 0.05).

Conclusions

A significant decrease in the total time taking to complete the Jebsen-Taylor hand function test was observed in the intervention group compared to the control group 1 month after discharge. Rehabilitation of children with hand burns, using printed educational booklet with related AR application, improves their hand function.

基于增强现实技术的手部烧伤康复训练对儿童手部功能的影响：随机对照试验

背景：目的：本研究旨在评估针对小儿手部烧伤设计的增强现实（AR）康复手册对其手部功能的影响：研究设计：这是一项随机对照试验：72名8-14岁的手部烧伤儿童被随机分配到干预组（36人）和对照组（36人）。对照组儿童接受常规康复训练，而干预组儿童则使用印制的小册子和相关的 AR 应用程序进行练习。干预前、出院时和 1 个月后完成杰布森-泰勒手部功能测试：基于基线和完全调整模型的协方差分析结果显示，出院后和干预后对手部功能（出院时的平均差异[95%置信区间]：-8.2 [-15.0至-1.4]，干预后的平均差异[95%置信区间]：-74.0 [-88.8至-59.1]）和项目（均为P 0.05）的干预效果显著：出院 1 个月后，与对照组相比，干预组完成捷布森-泰勒手功能测试的总时间明显减少。使用印刷版教育手册和相关的 AR 应用程序对手部烧伤儿童进行康复训练可改善他们的手部功能。
