Abstract: In more than half a century, burn rehabilitation in China has experienced three periods: initial exploration in the latter half of the 20^th century, gradual development in the first decade of the 21^st century, and the accelerating popularization in the recent decade. Looking back at the historical development of burn rehabilitation, we can see not only great progresses, but also many problems and deficiencies. In China, many units still do not even provide burn rehabilitation treatment, and many units where rehabilitation is also in practice, are commonly experiencing problems such as lack of enough therapists, insufficient team construction and training, incomplete treatment programs and limited curative effects, unstable multi-disciplinary cooperation mode, and lack of high-level rehabilitation research and technological innovation. Based on this, this paper puts forward some suggestions for further development and improvement, hoping to push the burn rehabilitation in China from popularization towards a comprehensive high level.
