Riabilitazione respiratoria

Malattie dell’apparato respiratorio

Estratto

Nonostante la riabilitazione abbia ormai una “storia” piuttosto antica, la sua applicazione alle malattie respiratorie è relativamente recente: solo negli ultimi 30 anni infatti si è assistito ad una sua diffusione via via più estesa, passando da arte a scienza. Nel 1975, infatti uno “stato dell’arte” sulla diagnosi e trattamento della COPD pubblicato su JAMA metteva per la prima volta in risalto gli effetti benefici della riabilitazione su questo tipo di pazienti. Nel corso degli ultimi tre decenni, poi una grande mole di studi ne ha messo a fuoco i principi, e ne ha esteso sempre più le applicazioni, che attualmente non sono più limitate soltanto ai pazienti COPD, ma comprendono numerose altre patologie, respiratorie e non.
