| [ Summary ] | Pulmonary rehabilitation management in the prevention and/or amelioration of the cardiovascular co-morbidities associated with HD patients consists of the team care unit which is supported by many types of jobs. The goals of pulmonary rehabilitation programs are to reduce symptoms, improve activity and daily function, and restore the highest level of independent function in patients with respiratory disease. Exercise therapy in the pulmonary rehabilitation programs associated with HD patients consists of conditioning, activities of daily living (ADL) training, muscle tolerance, and muscle resistance training. Importantly, disuse syndrome should be avoided, the physical fitness of HD patients should improve, and the risk of the cardiovascular co-morbidities associated with CKD should be controlled. |
