A randomized controlled study will be conducted at Burns and Reconstructive
Surgical Unit, National Hospital of Sri Lanka. Patients over 13 years of
age admitted to the unit with a burn injury involving the shoulder
joint will be eligible to participate in the study.
The subjects will be randomized into two groups: intervention group and
