Summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes respiratory muscle training, is effective in improving the functional status of patients with various types of the respiratory system diseases, including bronchial asthma, interstitial lung diseases or lung transplant patients.

However, availability of pulmonary rehabilitation is limited in the Czech Republic. Nowadays even more due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A suitable instrument of increasing its accessibility is telerehabilitation using modern technologies. The main goal of this project is to evaluate the patients' functional status after completing a standardized cycle of pulmonary rehabilitation focused on respiratory muscle training conducted as telerehabilitation sessions and compare the effect of this intervention with a different group of patients who will undergo an education session led by a trained physiotherapist followed by self-directed exercise according to an exercise brochure.

Conditions

  • Telerehabilitation

Interventions

DEVICE

Respiratory muscle training

All patients will be initially educated by a physiotherapist and instructed to independently perform the home exercise program including respiratory muscle training. The training will be performed using the Airofit PRO device. This breathing training on a suitable resistance will be performed twice a day for 6 weeks. The intervention will be conducted under a researcher's supervision via smartphone App.
