    La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es una condición respiratoria crónica que afecta la calidad de vida de los pacientes. La terapia física ha demostrado ser efectiva en la mejora de la función y la calidad de vida en pacientes con EPOC. Este artículo revisa la evidencia científica sobre la efectividad de la terapia física en pacientes con EPOC y discute los mecanismos fisiológicos subyacentes a sus beneficios.

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the quality of life of patients. Physical therapy has been shown to be effective in improving function and quality of life in patients with COPD. This article reviews the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of physical therapy in patients with COPD and discusses the underlying physiological mechanisms of its benefits.
