“…In fact, some survivors find that emotional and social adjustment to burn scarring is one of the most challenging aspects of their recovery [2,3]. Frequently experienced psychological and social problems include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, substance abuse, sleep disturbance, low body image, social anxiety, stigmatization and discrimination [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Several studies point to possible international variability, with PTSD being diagnosed in one third of US and Japanese samples after burn injuries, in contrast with15-20% of Dutch and Greek samples 4 . Other authors also argue that burn injury may be due to the different combinations of psychometric instruments used 5,6 . Therein, a literature review of critical illnesses, including burn care patients 2 , reported a great variability of PTSD prevalence depending on the type of measure used.…”

“…While objective factors such as the Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) burned, the length of hospital stay (LOS) or patients' gender, appear as stronger predictors of PTSD 11 , several studies also point to subjective variables, such as life threat perception, as significant risk factors for PTSD development [12][13][14] , which in general are considered to be better predictors 6 . Satisfaction with care and significant improvements in cures are also important subjective factors in the development of PTSD symptoms in these patients, as they may also affect the development of posttraumatic memories and thus the rehabilitation process 15 .…”

“…Changes such as muscle loss, weakness, contractures (Hart et al, 2000;Diego et al, 2013), decreased joint mobility, sensory changes, hypertrophic scarring (Ripper, Renneberg, Landmann, Weigel, & Germann, 2009), and psychological symptoms, stress, depression (Baur, Hardy, & Van Dorsten, 1998) lead to limitation of the functional and physical activities (Hart et al, 2000;Diego et al, 2013;Baur et al, 1998;Parry, Walker, Niszczak, Palmieri, & Greenhalgh, 2010). The benefits of physical activity in healthy subjects are numerous; for those who suffered burns, physical activity is essential at all stages of rehabilitation (Baldwin & Li, 2013).…”

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.
