Detailed answer

Scars resulting from burns can lead to muscle damage in some cases. When the burn injury penetrates deeper layers of the skin, it can damage underlying muscle tissue. The severity of the burn and the extent of the muscle involvement determine the extent of the damage. Scar tissue may cause contractures, where the skin and underlying muscle become tight and restrict movement. Physical therapy and rehabilitative exercises are essential to restore muscle function and reduce the impact of muscle damage caused by burn scars.
