Robotic Physiotherapy on Emphysema Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Emphysema is a progressive lung condition characterized by the destruction of alveoli, leading to decreased respiratory function and chronic breathing difficulties. It is a significant component of COPD, which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide . Physiotherapy is an integral part of the management strategy for emphysema, focusing on improving respiratory mechanics, enhancing exercise tolerance, and increasing the quality of life .Robotic physiotherapy has emerged as an innovative intervention, leveraging advanced robotics to deliver precise and consistent physiotherapeutic exercises. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of robotic physiotherapy in improving the clinical outcomes of emphysema patients compared to traditional physiotherapy methods
