Specialized respiratory therapy to improve lung function and support secretion management.
Respiratory therapeutic exercise for cystic fibrosis is a specialized physiotherapy treatment to improve lung function and support secretion management. Through targeted breathing techniques, mobilization measures and patient-oriented education, breathing is eased and independence in managing the condition is promoted.
Therapeutic effects
- Improvement of ventilation and gas exchange
- Promotion of secretion mobilization and coughing
- Optimization of breathing rhythm and breathing economy
- Improvement of thoracic mobility
- Support for body awareness and relaxation
Indications
- Cystic fibrosis (mucoviscidosis)
- Severe chronic lung disease with pronounced secretion production and reduced lung function
- Recurrent airway obstructions and exertional dyspnea
Therapy goals
- Easing of breathing and reduction of breathlessness
- Improvement of secretion elimination
- Mobilization of the chest and respiratory accessory muscles
- Promotion of a physiological and efficient breathing pattern
- Improvement of therapy adherence and self-management
Procedure
Treatment is individually adapted to the patient's health status and capacity. It includes breathing exercises, techniques for secretion mobilization and autogenic drainage, use of breathing assist devices, and instruction in inhalation and hygiene measures.
