Rehabilitation therapy for COPD patients
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is continually causing labor losses, while its incidence, prevalence and mortality are growing [1], which makes it one of the most pressing healthcare problems today. Despite active development of innovative medical technologies, drug therapy of COPD remains ineffective, while treatment is costly and the quality of life of COPD patients is poor [2]. Improvement of ways and methods of COPD treatment is one of the major challenges in pulmonology today.
