Burn, wound and diabetic foot rehabilitation at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, Kottayam, supports recovery while helping restore movement, mobility and function and prevent recurrent wounds. Rehabilitation is provided alongside the treating surgical and medical teams for burns, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores and complex or slow healing wounds.
Burn rehabilitation focuses on positioning, stretching, splinting and pressure garments to prevent scar related contractures and loss of joint movement. Diabetic foot rehabilitation includes pressure offloading, therapeutic footwear and insoles, gait correction and foot care education. Rehabilitation also supports patients after toe or partial foot amputation by addressing altered weight bearing and mobility to reduce the risk of recurrent ulcers.
Rehabilitation delivered with the plastic surgery, general surgery and endocrinology teams, starting during wound care rather than after healing, when contracture and deformity are still preventable.
Positioning and assisted movement started while the burn is still healing, because the stiffness that forms in these early weeks is the hardest to reverse later.
Splinting, stretching and positioning across the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand and knee, the sites where scar tightening most often limits movement permanently.
Massage, silicone application and pressure garments used through the months of scar maturation to keep scars flatter, softer and more mobile.
Focused therapy for the burned hand, where even a small loss of grip, web space or finger movement has a large effect on independence and work.
Assessment of why a wound is not closing, with pressure relief, positioning, movement and nutrition addressed alongside the surgical wound care.
Examination of sensation, circulation, pressure points and foot shape to identify the feet at risk of ulceration before the first ulcer appears.
Prescription of protective footwear, custom insoles and offloading devices that take pressure away from ulcer sites and prevent them from recurring.
Gait retraining after debridement, toe or partial foot amputation, with aids and orthoses so weight is redistributed safely across the remaining foot.
