Introduction
Direct injury or mechanical ventilation can adversely affect the diaphragm, leading to muscle inactivity, unloading and, ultimately, diaphragmatic atrophy and fatigue. Therefore, rehabilitating this muscle after mechanical ventilation is crucial for optimal function and a vital part of recovery. The diaphragm is, however, often overlooked in a rehabilitation plan. This course helps to address this gap by introducing specific exercises that can benefit patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Aims
This course aims to introduce a range of rehabilitation exercises for the diaphragm.
