Pulmonary Physical and Occupational Therapy Programs
Share
Pulmonary care offered through Duke Physical and Occupational Therapy touches a broad range of diagnoses including:
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Sarcoidosis
- Cystic fibrosis (CF)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Pre- and post-lung transplantation
- Pneumonia
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Therapy places an emphasis on exercise tolerance and instruction in compensatory strategies for energy conservation. We also incorporate other airway clearance techniques such as the therapy vest, acapella, and active cycle breathing.
We have a daily pulmonary rehabilitation group for pre- and post-lung transplant patients.
The physical therapy team at Duke University Hospital is one of a handful in the nation that continues to perform manual chest physical therapy (CPT) for the management of pulmonary secretions.
