COPD is a condition of difficulty breathing caused by airflow obstruction. Although it primarily affects the lungs, COPD is a systemic disorder with high mortality rates and significant costs to the healthcare system. The GOLD organization was founded to raise awareness of COPD and publishes annual reports on new findings related to the disease. The treatment of COPD requires a multidisciplinary team of experts due to the lack of a "perfect" therapy, and in addition to pharmacological treatment, pulmonary rehabilitation also plays a significant role. The most common symptoms of COPD are dyspnea, cough and sputum production, and the disease negatively affects the quality of life and daily activities of patients. The physiotherapy process consists of physiotherapy assessment and physiotherapy intervention. Physiotherapy assessment provides the basis for an individualized approach to the patient. Subjective assessment, through anamnesis, provides the collection of information about the patient's general condition, symptoms and motivation. Objective assessment, such as measurement of respiratory muscle function and exercise tests, provides data that are more specific in order to understand the patient's condition. Clinical judgment enables the analysis of collected data and the formulation of a customized plan of interventions to achieve the goals of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy interventions for people with COPD include breathing exercises, drainage positions, positive expiratory pressure, manual percussion, vibrations, therapeutic exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Breathing exercises such as diaphragmatic breathing and IMT improve respiratory volume. Drainage positions are used to mobilize secretions. The application of positive pressure during expiration increases the lung volume and facilitates expectoration, while the vibrations are used to remove secretions. Physiotherapy exercises, such as endurance and strength training, help restore functional abilities. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is used when patients are unable to perform therapeutic exercises. Encouraging lifestyle changes is key to successful disease control. It is recommended that pulmonary rehabilitation programs last at least six months to achieve long-term changes. By increasing awareness of COPD, patients are given a better quality of life, with fewer physical limitations.
