Abstract

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a key component of long-term management strategies for chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). This comprehensive intervention, carefully tailored to individual patients based on thorough assessments, has undergone significant expansion and refinement toward personalization and precision in recent years. This review consolidates findings from studies published between October 2022 and September 2023, covering advances in CRD rehabilitation, assessment criteria, mechanisms, and innovative equipments. The primary objective is to enhance the knowledge base of healthcare professionals and pave the way for future research efforts in this important area.
