A program of pulmonary rehabilitation is a multi-faceted continuum of services designed for persons with pulmonary disease and their families. As a component of respiratory disease management, the goals of pulmonary rehabilitation are to restore patients to their highest possible level of independent function and to improve their quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation, generally conducted by a multi-disciplinary team of specialists, should be included in the overall management of patients with respiratory disease to assist in alleviating symptoms and optimizing health. The respiratory therapist, by virtue of specialized education and interest in the individual’s respiratory care, is a key partner in a successful rehabilitation program.
