Physical therapy program for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract

people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The article considers the problem of the respiratory system pathologies, in particular chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of a set of means of physical rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Material and methods: the study involved 23 patients aged 40 to 60 years. The duration of treatment and rehabilitation was, on average, 15-20 days. The following research methods were used to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation in the control and main groups: pedagogical research, anthropometry (age, weight, height, chest excursion), heart rate, respiratory rate, spirographic examination, Stange and Genche tests. Results: a physical therapy program is based on paradoxical breathing techniques. The proposed hypothesis is tested and substantiated. The result of the research was a significant increase in the main group performance. Conclusions: the use of physical therapy programs based on breathing techniques of paradoxical breathing (methods of O.M. Strelnikova and K.P. Buteyko) is one of the most effective means of restoring the functions of the respiratory system.
