Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be a chronic and progressive disease that represents a vital public health challenge nowadays. COPD could be common lung disease. Having COPD makes it hard to breathe. There are two main sorts of COPD: Bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with sputum. Emphysema, which involves damage to the lungs over time. Most of the people with COPD have is that the combination of both conditions. Smoking is that the main reason for this. The more an individual smokes, the more likely that person will develop disease. But some people smoke for years and never get COPD. Other risk factors for COPD are: Exposure to certain gases or fumes within the workplace, heavy amounts of secondhand smoke and pollution, frequent use of a cooking fire without proper ventilation. There are many things to alleviate symptoms and keep the disease from getting worse. Pulmonary rehabilitation can teach you more about the disease, train you to inhale in a unique way so you'll be able to stay active and feel better and keep you acting at the best level possible. We describe the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation together with Qigong Wuqinxi in a 53 years old male patient. The aim of this case study is to judge the rehabilitation efficacy of Wuqinxi for COPD.
Keywords: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary rehabilitation, case study, Wuqinxi, Qigong.
