[Rehabilitation of patients with chronic bronchitis and spine diseases]
Abstract:
Correction of disturbed respiratory function and inhibition of progression of pulmonary inflammatory and obstructive processes is the aim of respiration rehabilitation in patients with chronic bronchitis (CB). It is known that rehabilitation in CB patients with spinal diseases meets with difficulties as dystrophic lesions of the spine entail its functional-anatomic disorders at the corresponding level. By supporting progression of dystrophic spinal and osteovertebral junction disorders, chronic bronchopulmonary inflammation participates in formation of interrelated respiratory affections. New approaches to rehabilitation of CB patients with spinal lesions lie in use of pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, deep reflex-muscular massage and therapeutic exercise in consensual sequence.
