Burn injury affects dermal tissue which contains sensory neurones that contribute to the conscious and automatic feedback systems which in turn, control balance and coordination. Impediments arising from lower limb burn injuries are similar to those observed in other populations suffering lower limb disease or pathology and further, these complications cause balance dysfunction. Balance and mobility are complex bodily functions integral to discharge disposition, social function and quality of life. Therefore, to guide recovery accurately and facilitate rehabilitation after LLBI, multi-factorial assessment is required.
