Rehabilitation of patients with asthma bronchiale
NOVÁK, Lukáš
The topic of my thesis is the recovery of patients suffering from bronchial asthma. Asthma Bronchial (next asthma) is one of the most frequented civilisation diseases the prevalence of which has been increasing dramatically in the last 20 years. It is a chronic inflammatory disease of respiratory tract, which may appear at any age. The four major symptoms of asthma are whistling breath, shortness of breath, cough and tightness in the chest. Physiotherapy enables considerably a complex treatment of patients suffering from asthma. The complex treatment program takes into consideration the breathing and moving abilities of the patient, primarily the current state of his or her deep stabilisation system. The theoretical part of my thesis is focussed on a general description of asthma and its possible treatments, in terms of physiotherapy. The main aim of my thesis is to set up and practise a physiotherapeutic program in order to mitigate the asthma symptoms. The particular set-ups are focused on the respiratory and motion physiotherapy respecting their individual needs. The practical part of my thesis is based on a quantitative survey made by a semi-structured interview focussed on revealing the patient history, direct observation (examining the patient and realising the rehabilitation program). The survey was made within a group of three patients of a different sex and age undergoing the treatment in Luhačovice Spa, as well as one patient of a pre-school age treated in her home environment. The premises of a successful treatment following the rehabilitation scheme reflect an individual attitude to patients and their active participation in the recommended exercising and physiotherapeutic activities in their free time. My thesis can be used as a brief asthma bronchial outline for the public and for study purposes of future physiotherapists.
