This study aimed to investigate the effect of using the Xbox Kinect\u2122 on outcomes of children in the PBU at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.Methods:\u00a0This non-equivalent, post-test only control group study took place over a period of 14 months. The control group received standard physiotherapy management and the experimental group received standard physiotherapy management and additional Xbox Kinect\u2122. Outcome measures were ROM, Activities Scale for Kids (ASK\u00a9p) and a modified Wong-Baker FACES\u00ae\u00a0enjoyment rating scale. Outcomes were assessed at discharge and then 1 week post-discharge at the usual follow-up appointment.Results:\u00a0Sixty-six children participated in this study. More than 50% of the burns were because of hot water, followed by flame burns (30%) and electrical burns (12%). The addition of Xbox Kinect\u2122 was effective in achieving higher active ROM (AROM) between discharge and follow-up (p\u00a0&lt; 0.01). Fun and enjoyment (p\u00a0&lt; 0.01) was found to be significantly higher in the children who participated in Xbox Kinect\u2122. Total body surface area (TBSA%) (p\u00a0= 0.03), age (p\u00a0= 0.05) and AROM (p\u00a0= 0.04) were significantly associated with ASK\u00a9p scores.Conclusion:\u00a0The use of the Xbox Kinect\u2122 has been shown to be a beneficial and useful adjunct to burns rehabilitation in this paediatric burns population.Clinical implications:\u00a0Currently, there is limited information and research on interventions for children with burns in South Africa. The addition of Xbox Kinect\u2122 to standard physiotherapy in-patient care was both enjoyable and effective and should be considered where funding is available.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/sajp.v74i1.429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,6]],"date-time":"2018-04-06T08:16:21Z","timestamp":1523002581000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The use of Xbox Kinect\u2122 in a Paediatric Burns Unit"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Eleonora I.","family":"Lozano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanne L.","family":"Potterton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2005.12.004"},{"key":"ref0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1367493513485651"},{"key":"ref0003","author":"Frith","year":"2011","journal-title":"Soweto"},{"key":"ref0004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/67.12.1867"},{"key":"ref0005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61093-4"},{"key":"ref0006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7196\/SAMJ.2016.v106i2.8942"},{"key":"ref0007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrc.2011.08.017"},{"key":"ref0008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.03.070"},{"key":"ref0009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20130618"},{"key":"ref0010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17483107.2013.805825"},{"key":"ref0011","author":"Moroz","year":"2013","journal-title":"Merck manual professional version"},{"key":"ref0012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2015.06.022"},{"issue":"5","key":"ref0013","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"534","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0000000000000165","volume":"36","author":"Parry","year":"2015","journal-title":"Journal of Burn Care & Research"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref0014","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.3109\/01942638.2013.784719","volume":"34","author":"Piscione","year":"2014","journal-title":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics"},{"key":"ref0015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2010.07.007"},{"key":"ref0016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PHM.0b013e3182a38e40"},{"key":"ref0017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0305-4179(03)00045-7"},{"key":"ref0018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2016.06.007"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref0019","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"224","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0b013e31820aaeda","volume":"32","author":"Webb","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Burn Care & Research"},{"key":"ref0020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2012.12.017"},{"key":"ref0021","author":"Wong-Baker FACES Foundation","year":"2016","journal-title":"Wong-Baker FACES\u00ae pain rating scale"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref0022","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0b013e318234d8ef","volume":"33","author":"Yohannan","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Burn Care & Research"},{"key":"ref0023","author":"Young","year":"2009","journal-title":"The Activities Scale for Kids\u00a9 \u2013 ASK\u00a9"}],"container-title":["South African Journal of Physiotherapy"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/viewFile\/429\/618","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/viewFile\/429\/617","content-type":"application\/epub+zip","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/viewFile\/429\/619","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/viewFile\/429\/616","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/viewFile\/429\/616","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,18]],"date-time":"2018-04-18T22:02:16Z","timestamp":1524088936000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/sajp.co.za\/index.php\/sajp\/article\/view\/429"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,9]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/sajp.v74i1.429","relation":{},"ISSN":["2410-8219","0379-6175"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2410-8219","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0379-6175","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,9]]}}}
