Obstructive Pulmonary Rehabilitation

1158 Words5 Pages

INTRODUCTION:
Pulmonary diseases are increasingly important causes of morbidity and mortality in the modern world. The COPD is the most common chronic lung diseases, and are a major cause of lung-related death and disability.1 Pulmonary rehabilitation has emerged as a recommended standard of care for patients with chronic lung disease based on a growing body of scientific evidence.There is growing evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has systemic consequences, including a syndrome of skeletal muscle dysfunction.1Exercise training has long been advocated as a useful rehabilitative strategy for this patient population.8

More recently, high-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation (hf-NMES) has been successfully used …show more content…

In this study, hf-NMES was applied to patients with the severe copd.Exercise and activity limitation are characteristic features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Exercise intolerance may result from ventilatory limitation, cardiovascular impairment, and/or skeletal muscle dysfunction.Exercise training, a core component of pulmonary rehabilitation,improves the exercise capacity (endurance and, to a lesser degree, maximal work capacity) of patients with COPD in …show more content…

Hence,The study was undertaken to evaluate the ““EFFICACY OF PULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM VS. HIGH FREQUENCY NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION EMPHASIZING LOWER LIMB MUSCLE TRAINING IN SEVERE COPD PATIENTS”

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF COPD:

In the United States, COPD accounted for 19,054 deaths in 2000, ranking as the fourth leading cause of death and the only major disease among the top 10 in which mortality continues to increase.5–8 In persons 55 to 74 years of age, COPD ranks third in men and fourth in women as cause of death.9 However, mortality data underestimate the impact of
COPD because it is more likely to be listed as a contributory cause of death rather than the underlying cause of death, and it is often not listed at all.10,11 Death rates from COPD have continued to increase more in women than in men.5

Severity of COPD

Al 's AP chest diameter is increased ("barrel chest") from the chronic air trapping. Excess air is trapped in the lungs, which is shown in his PFTs results (NIH, 2016). The lungs are hyperinflated, which is why the RV and FRC are increased. COPD pathophysiologically prevents the trapped air from being breathed out, which is indicated by the decreased VC. 5.

Thermodynamics: Neuromuscular Therapy

605 Words | 3 Pages

Neuromuscular Therapy is founded on the study of human physiology, client assessment and a detailed understanding of kinesiology and body mechanics. Its global popularity has everything to do with a practitioner's ability to assess a patient's pain pattern and effectively treat. A detailed soft tissue assessment using regionally oriented protocols and the use of hands on techniques that have been used and proven over the last 50 years. Neuromuscular therapy addresses ischemia or reduced blood flow to the skeletal muscle tissue due to taut bands of muscle cells. NMT focuses on hypersensitive points within the taught bands of skeletal muscle cells, which often gives rise to a referral sensation phenomena that may include pain.

This program creates financial incentives for hospitals to reduce cost, implement quality improvement programs and focus on reducing readmissions, within 30 days of discharge, for people admitted with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and pneumonia.

Research Topic: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and stigma Research Question: How do individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) perceive and experience dealing with COPD service providers? The research question suggests the ontological position that perceptions and experiences of individuals with COPD are meaningful within the social context (Mason, 2012). The epistemological approach will generate data qualitatively, by asking questions, listening, and obtaining information through individuals ' narratives about COPD and service providers (Mason, 2012). The topics covered are knowledge and practices about self-managing COPD, experiences and perceptions about COPD service providers, and barriers to accessing programs.
