The respiratory muscles are skeletal muscles that power the vital function of pulmonary ventilation. Many COPD patients have impaired respiratory muscle function which has a significant adverse effect on their lives. Impairment of inspiratory muscle function is of particular importance in COPD patients. Two treatment types are currently available for impaired inspiratory muscle function in COPD patients: inspiratory muscle training and surgery. Inspiratory muscle function can improve with specific training. It appears that there are significant gains after inspiratory muscle training Inspiratory muscle function is improved by specific inspiratory muscle training when intensity is monitored and exceeds 20% of maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max).

Each year, we learn more about rehabilitation benefits of staying physically active and being properly nourished throughout our lives. The work of scientists, rehabilitation professionals, and older adult volunteers have greatly increased our knowledge about the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rehabilitation process and how we can maintain strength, endurance, dignity, and independence as we age. Essential to treatment chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and staying healthy and vital during older adulthood is participation in regular rehabilitation exercises, which help to improve quality of life, reduce morbidity and mortality, and prevent increasing of severity of disease. Feeling physically strong also promotes mental and emotional health. Rehabilitation exercises are easy to learn, and have been proven safe and effective through years of thorough research. Experts at the Morjan Hospital for Disease Control and Prevention and Babylon University, with the help of older adults, have created this book, REHABILITATION Of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE to help you become healthy and maintain your respiratory system and independence.
