On this episode, I talk about pulmonary tele-rehabilitation. I mention some papers published in this area from my lab. The first one is by Jess Inskip, which is here, one by Christen Chan, which is here, and one with me as first author, here.
I talk briefly about the history of pulmonary rehabilitation, and mention a previous episode on this topic, which can be found here.
I mention that there are research papers which report how few people with chronic lung disease have access to rehab. One of those papers I was involved with, addressed the Canadian situation and can be found here. Martijn Spruit published another, which was an international analysis, and can be found here.
I comment on some early rehab studies which looked at the effect of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs on exercise and symptom outcomes. The paper by Maltais and colleagues can be found here, and the paper by Anne Holland and colleagues is here.
I mention the Cochrane review by Narelle Cox which can be found here. I also mention some papers in that review. The paper by Barberan-Garcia is here, the paper by Chaplin & Barnes is here, and the paper by Bernocchi is here.
The American Thoracic Society Workshop paper on “Defining Pulmonary Rehabilitation” can be found here.
More about the monitoring company Agartee can be found here.
