| Summary |
The use of pressure garments has long been recognised as a successful means of managing hypertrophic scarring following burn wound healing, lymphoedema and stump oedema. This practical manual provides detailed instructions in the fabrication of pressure garments to produce effective and consistent results. Topics covered include a description of the rationale of pressure therapy, therapeutic applications and the instructions necessary to produce a complete range of garments. The fabrication of the garments is presented with logical step-by-step instructions, supported by large clear diagrams. The text is well referenced and includes useful appendices. This book will be essential reading for all therapists working with burn patients, it will also be of interest to those working with lymphoedema patients and amputees. |
