Abstract Bronchial
asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder and represents one of the
rehabilitation targets. A bronchial patient must be complete assess
before a complex rehabilitation program. The benefits of the pulmonary
rehabilitation performed in the patients with mild persistent BA were:
the minimal increase of respiratory parameters; the enhancing standard
therapy to alleviate symptoms and optimise function, independent of the
disease stage; the improvement of exercise tolerance or physical
performance (6MWD increased) and breathlessness assessed by Borg scale
(the Borg dyspnea scale can used by the patient to maintain an exercise
training prescription). The Six-Minute Walk Test is a popular field
outcome for rehabilitation because of its simplicity but does require
careful conduct and at least two practice tests to ensure reliability.
The pulmonary rehabilitation in bronchial asthma are based on the
aerobic training. Exercise training can lead to improved aerobic
fitness, motivation and exercise technique, desensitization to
dyspnoea, and an optimized breathing pattern. Respiratory
rehabilitation should be offered to all patients who, despite the use
of an optimal pharmacological treatment, remain physically limited by
symptoms.
