“…The review incorporated a broad perspective on adults' perceptions and experiences of burn rehabilitation addressing peer support [7][8][9], adherence to therapy [10], the return to work [8,11], psychosocial implications [12], quality of life [13,14], adaption and coping [15][16][17] and regaining independence and the reintegration into society [9,[18][19][20]. Of the included 14 papers, there were 184 participants involved in studies conducted across eight different countries including Australia [20], Brazil [12][13][14]19], China [17], United States of America [7,9], Norway [15,18], Sweden [8,16], Germany [10] and the United Kingdom [11].…”

“…Among the studies that reported the participants' age and TBSA, the mean age was 41 years with a mean TBSA burned of 34%. The ages ranged from 18 to 74 years of age with only one study that did not specify the ages only stating that participants were of working age [11]. Of the studies that reported the TBSA burned, the range was wide varying between 1% and 98%.…”

“…Esselman et al (2007) found that the barriers to return to work are diverse, resulting not only from burns, but also from physical and psychological limitations. Mackey et al (2009) report that the pain is a major reason for not returning to work. In addition to pain, the authors also cite the severity of burns, amputation of toes and upper limbs, and hypertrophic scarring that limit the movements.…”

“…Over the past 50 years, the team of professionals has changed the focus of treatment, moving from survival to rehabilitation, in order to return the patients to society with functional capacity and quality of life (Mackey et al, 2009). These survivors are faced with a wide range of physical and psychosocial disadvantages, affecting all aspects of human life (Vale, 2005;Piccolo, 2002), requiring a careful process of rehabilitation to maximize recovery after hospital discharge (Farrell, Gamelli, Aleem, & Sinacore, 2008;Richard et al, 2009).…”

ABSTRACT. Burns cause different impacts on the individual life. Many are the problems faced by survivors, such as hypermetabolism that may persist years after the event. The aim was to assess aerobic capacity, level of physical activity and pain in adult burn victims after hospital discharge. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Participants (n = 60) were adult victims of moderate to severe burns, evaluated by six-minute walk test (6MWT), Pain Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). We applied Student's t-test for independent samples and Mann-Whitney test for comparisons between medium and large burned; Chi-square test to compare the level of physical activity. Large burned (73%) patients prevailed among the 60 participants; there was a statistically significant trend in the distance predicted between groups (p = 0.066), with no change in performance of the aerobic capacity. 60% reported physical activity practice at least three times a week: walking, cycling and soccer. As for the level of pain, 40% reported moderate to severe persistent pain, even after complete healing of wounds. Most participants showed aerobic capacity within the normal range, despite the high body mass index reported, they reported doing physical activities of moderate intensity.Keywords: physical therapy, walking, exercise test, assessment.Capacidade aeróbica, atividade física e dor em adultos vítimas de queimaduras moderadas a graves após alta hospitalar RESUMO. As queimaduras causam diversos impactos na vida do indivíduo. Inúmeros são os problemas enfrentados pelos sobreviventes, como o hipermetabolismo, que pode persistir por anos após o evento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade aeróbica, o nível de atividade física e a dor em adultos, vítimas de queimaduras após alta hospitalar. Neste estudo descritivo e transversal, participaram 60 adultos, vítimas de queimaduras moderadas a graves, avaliados pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6min), pela Escala de Dor e pelo Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ). Utilizou-se Teste t Student independente e Mann-Whitney para comparações entre médios e grandes queimados; o Qui quadrado para comparação do nível de atividade física. Dos 60 pacientes, predominaram os grandes queimados (73%) e encontrou-se tendência estatística na distância predita entre os grupos (p = 0,066), sem alteração no desempenho da capacidade aeróbica. 60% referiram praticar atividade física pelo menos três vezes por semana: caminhadas, bicicleta e futebol. Quanto ao nível de dor, 40% dos avaliados mencionaram dores persistentes de moderadas a intensas, mesmo após a cicatrização total das feridas. A maioria dos adultos, vítimas de queimaduras moderadas a graves, encontra-se com a sua capacidade aeróbica dentro da normalidade e, apesar do elevado índice de massa corpórea, afirma realizar atividades físicas de moderada intensidade.Palavras-chave: fisioterapia, caminhada, teste de esforço, avaliação.
