Pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Annales de Réadaptation et de Médecine Physique, 2007Pulmonary rehabilitation, a multidisciplinary and structured intervention for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, has been shown to improve exercise tolerance, reduce dyspnea and improve health-related quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation appears to be cost-effective, since it reduces health care utilization. Exercise training represents the
