Virtual-Environment Home Rehabilitation: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The overarching goal for this prospective randomized controlled trial (PRCT) is to determine
whether a virtual-environment, home-rehabilitation program improves functional outcomes for
individuals after a burn injury. Specifically, this study will test the efficacy of a
technology-assisted rehabilitation program against current standard of home therapy.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (PRCT) involving 50 adult burn survivors.
This study tests the efficacy of a technology-assisted rehabilitation program against current
standard of home therapy. There are two study groups for which subjects will be randomized:
control and experimental.The control group will receive treatment as usual, which includes a
personalized home exercise program prescribed by a burn therapist, prior to hospital
discharge. The experimental group receives treatment as usual, in addition to training and
use of the Jintronix platform for 3 months after hospital discharge. Participants will
undergo their prescribed therapy regimen for 3 months, with outcomes follow-up to 12 months
post-discharge.
