Abstract

Rehabilitation has been practised for several decades, but its application in respiratory disease is relatively recent. Although by definition chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterised by the presence of a progressive and irreversible airflow obstruction, the primary treatment traditionally consists of pharmacological modulation of the airflow limitation by bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory agents. Despite symptomatic relief after optimal pharmacological intervention, most COPD patients still suffer from functional deficit. This minimal therapeutic approach is therefore no longer considered as acceptable in a state of the art management of COPD aimed at reduction of symptoms, improvement in health status and prevention and treatment of secondary complications [1-2].
