Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive societal disease and is the leading cause of mortality in many economically developed countries, which is a significant medical and social problem, and it can not avoid any stratum of society. Modern methods of COPD diagnostics and an arsenal of medications that are used do not always lead to stable remission that affects the patients quality of life, thus searching the cheapest methods of patients rehabilitation is important.

Materials and Methods. The study consisted of three phases. The first stage – analysis of case reports of patients with COPD and pulmonary tuberculosis (TBL), with broncho-obstructive syndrome (BOS) and their questioning. The second stage – on the basis of the data adaptation and usage of existing training programs to the specifics of TRTBD for patients with specific and non-specific lung disorders. The third stage – assessment of the quality of life in patients before and after training and rehabilitation process.
