Abstract
Rehabilitation approaches have become recognized as a key component to the effective management of respiratory and pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) represents a team-based approach that utilizes knowledge and expertise of multiple disciplines in order to assist individuals in adapting to chronic lung dysfunction of varying etiologies. Common respiratory and pulmonary disorders may be caused by spinal cord injury (SCI), neuromuscular disorders (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy), or genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis. However, the most common diagnosis in this category is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This chapter will primarily focus on the clinical characteristics of COPD, general PR approaches, psychosocial aspects of COPD, and cognitive-behavioral interventions as applied to persons with respiratory failure. Though the following will focus on COPD in more detail, special considerations for other diagnoses with respiratory or pulmonary implications, namely, SCI and cystic fibrosis, will be briefly described.
