title: [Methods for the functional assessment of the degree of recovery in the victims of burns].
abstract: The objectification of the functional recovery of the patients having burns in very important for the correct determination of their working capacity. The general surgical criteria for the functional assessment can be applied mostly in defining the degree of the recovery of the motor functions, but do not reflect the specific evolution of the recovery of the epithelial tissue of the skin and the skin implantation after burns. The recovery of the patients having burns can be considered into two separate, but closely related aspects: 1. Functional recovery of the motor apparatus, where we can apply the following antropo- and physiometrical methods: angelometry, manual dynanometry, statical support capability of one lower limb and plantography. 2. Functional recovery of the restituted skin cover, where we observe the following clinical characteristics: colour, elasticability and moving ability of the skin cover, secondary injury, sensitivity of the restituted skin, necessity of observing medical safety regime. The usage of objective criteria for assessment of the degree of functional recovery of the injured skin supplements the methods for assessment of the recovery of the support-motor apparatus and reflects the specificity of the burn trauma. The usage of the said methods and the complex assessment therefrom will help the experts doctors to estimate right the degree of the lost work-capability and thus for making an objective assessment of the insurance.
