AB Burn  care  and  injury  management  continue  to  advance  throughout  the  developed  world,  leading  to  improved  survival  and  rehabilitation  of  individuals  who  suffer  burn  injuries.  These  individuals  require  a  comprehensive  approach  to  care  to  help  them  achieve  full  independence  and  maximum  recovery  from  their  injuries.  Current  estimates  suggest  that  more  than  1.2  million  individuals  in  the  United  States  require  care  for  burn  injuries  annually,  and  this  number  is  significantly  higher  in  many  other  countries  throughout  the  world.  Successful  rehabilitation  of  a  person  with  a  burn  injury  requires  a  team  approach  in  which  each  member  provides  essential  resources  and  skills  to  help  the  individual  transition  from  being  a  “victim”  of  a  burn  to  being  a  functionally  independent  “survivor.”
