Summary
This volume explores the emerging understanding that severe burns may act as catalysts for neurodegenerative processes, resulting in long-term sensorimotor, cognitive, and functional decline. Burn-induced systemic inflammation, neuroinflammatory cascades, and ICU-related neurological syndromes collectively form a clinical continuum that mimics or contributes to neurodegeneration. Framed within this paradigm, this book offers an evidence-based approach to neuromotor rehabilitation that addresses both central and peripheral nervous system complications. It bridges acute trauma with chronic neurofunctional loss, positioning physical therapy as a pivotal intervention to modulate degeneration, support neuroplasticity, and enhance recovery.

Department of Surgery, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Sinai University, Kantra Branch, Ismailia, Egypt.
Dr. Atiaa is a prominent researcher in the field of burn injury rehabilitation and neuroplasticity. Her research primarily focuses on the intersection of burn injury, neuromotor rehabilitation, and the integration of multidisciplinary approaches to recovery. She has worked extensively on evaluating functional recovery strategies in burn patients and has contributed significantly to the development of global practice models for burn rehabilitation.
Shehab M. Abd E‑Kader
Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Medical Rehabilitation Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Abd E‑Kader is an expert in physical therapy with a strong focus on rehabilitation following neurotrauma, including burn injuries. His research spans the neurophysiological and functional impairments associated with burns, particularly in neuromotor decline and the long‑term impact on motor functions. His work integrates physical therapy, pain management, and innovative rehabilitation strategies aimed at restoring function and improving quality of life for burn survivors.
Doha El‑Sayed Ellakwa
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Pharmacy for Girls, Al‑Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Sinai University, Kantra Branch, Ismailia, Egypt.
Dr. Ellakwa is a leading expert in biochemistry and molecular biology, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in burn injuries and neuroinflammation. She has extensive experience in investigating the impact of severe burns on neurological outcomes and is dedicated to advancing knowledge in neuro‑burn rehabilitation. Her contributions to this work emphasize the importance of biomarkers and immune response in predicting neuromotor and cognitive outcomes following burn trauma.
