Fisioterapia na fibrose cística: guia prático para pessoas com fibrose cística, familiares e cuidadores

Abstract

This e-book is the result of the work of professors and students of the Physiotherapy course at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Campus Faculty of Health Sciences of Trairi, which emerged from the demand of children and adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis and their families. Our aim is to contribute to increasing knowledge about CF, adherence to treatment, and the quality of life of people with CF and their families. Therefore, the book is divided into three sections: I) Knowing more about cystic fibrosis; II) Physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis; III) Physical exercise in cystic fibrosis. In addition, the e-book presents attachments containing examples of exercise routines for children and adults. We hope that the content covered in this e-book will be an instrument of transformation and healthier for the entire CF community.
