This case study shows that a year of weekly pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can effectively improve exercise capacity and quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The patient experienced significant improvements without adverse events.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but often focuses on short-term effects.
- Long-term PR efficacy in COPD management remains less explored.
