Abstract
Cutaneous functional units (CFUs) offer considerable potential to enhance the burn community's understanding of how burn injuries and resulting scars affect movement. However, the lack of a clear and comprehensive schema for calculating and locating CFUs has led to confusion and limited their applicability. The goal of this short communication is to provide an update on the CFU schema in table and figure format to encourage uniform use of a common model for consistent application of CFU principles and mapping in burn care and other professional fields concerned with skin movement.
