Abstract:
Rehabilitation is an effective non-pharmacological treatment for persons with chronic non-malignant pulmonary disease. However, studies have demonstrated various obstacles resulting in low attendance rate among the candidates, thus highlighting the need for alternative solutions. Home-based exercise improve exercise capacity and decrease dyspnoea in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as summarised in this review. In addition, home-based exercise demonstrates numerical but not statistically significant improvements in quality of life and lung function.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
