Clinical ConsiderationThe margins of keloid scars tend to pull outward (i.e. exhibit considerableperipheral tension) whereas the center of the scar is subjected to mildertension (Akaishi et al. 2008, Ogawa et al. 2011) Therefore, massagetherapy (MT) treatment along the peripheral margins may be most helpfulin terms of attenuating tissue tension.

Burns
A burn injury to the skin or other organic tissue is primarily caused by heat or
due to radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction or contact with chemicals. Skin
injuries due to ultraviolet radiation and respiratory damage resulting from smoke
inhalation are also considered to be burns.
Burn trauma is a worldwide public health problem. In 2004 nearly 11 million
people were burned severely enough to require medical attention (WHO 2015).
Every year in the USA alone, approximately 9000 individuals experience burns
that cover 20% or more of their total body surface area (TBSA). Non-fatal burn
injuries leaves millions inflicted with lifelong disabilities and disfigurements.
Additionally, burns are among the leading causes of disability-adjusted life-years
(DALYs).
The degree of injury factors into subsequent complications, sequelae and
treatment protocol. Treatment protocol will be covered in greater detail in
Chapter 9.
