Setting: The present study was conducted in burn unit at Assuit general hospital and Assuit university hospital. Subjects: purposive sample of 60 adults patients (males and females), they were divided into two equal groups (study and control). Tools: Patient assessment tool, joint flexibility assessment and muscle strength assessment. Results: This study was successed in minimizing muscles contracture to (6.67%) of study group versus (30.00%) of control group.
