Abstract:
Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective to improve shortness of breath, health status and exercise capacity. Telerehabilitation uses information and communication technologies to deliver rehabilitation program from a distance. A Cochrane review published in 2021 shows its equivalence to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation. The confinement induced by the COVID-19 pandemic has made patients with respiratory failure even more fragile and vulnerable, promoting the development of telerehabilitation. This article describes its modalities, sets out the scientific evidence for its effectiveness and develops perspectives for its development.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
