THE EFFECT OF INDIVIDUALIZED REHABILITATION PROGRAMS ON PATIENTS LIVING WITH ASTHMA.
Keywords:
Asthma, individualized rehabilitation, pulmonary function, exercise therapy, self-management, quality of life.Abstract
This study investigates the effect of individualized rehabilitation programs on patients living with asthma. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that significantly affects quality of life, physical activity, and overall health. Individualized rehabilitation programs, including personalized exercise plans, breathing techniques, and education on self-management, have been shown to improve lung function, reduce symptom severity, and enhance daily functioning. The research emphasizes the importance of tailoring rehabilitation interventions to each patient’s unique condition, needs, and lifestyle. Findings suggest that personalized rehabilitation not only improves clinical outcomes but also promotes patient adherence, self-efficacy, and long-term disease management [1, 2, 3].
