Introduction:
The prescription of physical activity and its implications in patients who have suffered burns is the object of study of different investigations due to the physical, psychological and social impact they have on people.

Materials and methods:
A review of the topic was carried out by scanning articles electronically and using search filters in different databases with DeCS and MeSH terms.
