The passive exercise therapy, to deal with the analytical study of locomotor functions and alterations or changes therein occur, includes a set of techniques applied to structures that have been affected in the patient and designed to address the consequences of diseases or osteoarticular system, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory apparatus. In this type of exercise therapy the patient does not perform voluntary movement in the area to be treated, but this movement is given by external forces to help the patient not only resists or gets carried away. The consideration of passive exercise therapy in scar retractions post second-degree burns on his upper limbs allows taking into account a set of actions and behaviors oriented in the burned child, to prevent and correct disabilities caused by tissue changes after burn or conditions associated pathological for maximum physical and psychosocial functional recovery possible later. It is in conjunction with the entire team to reintegrate the patient to his, family, school social environment. This begins at the time the child leaves the hospital. From the point of view physiotherapy, child management / burning includes an acute phase that begins from the moment of the accident itself and ends when epithelialization has occurred or grafts have been integrated; the subacute phase, extending from the epithelialization and integration of the grafts until the time of discharge, and chronic phase comprises the following two years. Each of these stages has its own characteristics, which determines the type of intervention to be performed.
