Abstract: Severe burn trauma results in persistent skeletal muscle catabolism and prolonged immobilization. We hypothesize that structured rehabilitative exercise is a safe and efficacious strategy to restore lean body mass and physical function in burn victims. Here, we review the evidence for the utility of rehabilitative exercise training in restoring physiological function in burn survivors. โ€ข Keywords: Burn injury, Lean body mass, Maximal oxygen uptake (Vห™O2), Muscle strength, Skeletal muscle, Rehabilitative exercise
