The control group will receive the physical therapy program and conduct five times per week over four consecutive weeks under the supervision of a physical rehabilitation specialist.

The study group A will receive Botulinum toxin-A injection in addition to physical therapy program as control group

The study group B will receive shock wave therapy in addition to physical therapy program as control group.

The control group will receive the physical therapy program and conduct five times per week over four consecutive weeks under the supervision of a physical rehabilitation specialist. The primary focus of the program was to improve scar malleability, lengthen muscles and tendons, enhance joint mobility, and to restore functionality. Each session lasted almost for 45 minutes and consisted of therapeutic paraffin application; deep tissue massaging (5 minutes); stretching exercises; active ROM exercises.

to assess the range of motions of wrist extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation. Active ROM Measurement: the patient independently moving their affected joint. The device records the joint angle throughout the movement, allowing for a thorough assessment of functional limitations caused by hypertrophic scars. Passive ROM Measurement: the therapist moves the patient's joint through its range of motion while the electronic goniometer measures and records the joint angles. This approach provides valuable information about the degree of movement restriction due to hypertrophic scarring.

for hand grip strength is used for assessing upper limb impairment, work capacity following injury or disease, and rehabilitation progression and/or potential following injury or surgery. For each child, the maximal voluntary contraction was determined as the highest of three contractions (INITIAL MAX). After a one-minute rest period, children will be instructed to squeeze the dynamometer in a static contraction at a level of 50% maximal for as long as possible, the duration of which will be recorded (DURATION). The level of static contraction will be monitored by the assessor who provided verbal feedback to ensure that a level of 50% maximal was maintained. Children must perform an additional post-fatigue maximal contraction within 10 seconds of completing the 50% maximal static contraction (FINAL MAX).

It employs four main parameters to evaluate hypertrophic scars: vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, and height. These parameters are individually scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating greater severity. The scores are then summed to provide an overall measure of scar severity, ranging from 0 (normal skin) to 14 (most severe scar). To ensure accurate evaluations, it is recommended to have adequate lighting, a calm environment, and reliable observers trained in using the VSS. Evaluators carefully assess each parameter, considering factors such as erythema, texture, and skin tension to assign appropriate scores. Finally, the total score provides a comprehensive representation of the hypertrophic scar's severity.
