Abstract

In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients, it has been proven that Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) helps in increasing the exercise ability, in easing the difficulty in breathing, in improving Health Related – Quality of Life (HR-QoL) and in decreasing the period in hospital and the utilization of medical resources.
