  • Title: [Respiration physical therapy?].
    Author: Bachofen H.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1990 May 19; 120(20):750-6. PubMed ID: 2190311.
    Abstract:
    This review assesses the role of physical modalities - chest physical therapy, breathing exercises, breathing training, and physical exercises - in the treatment of patients with pulmonary diseases. Controlled studies suggest that "routine" exercises yield a disappointing effort-benefit ratio, but that individually adapted programs may improve the well-being and functional ability of selected patients.
