Programs and techniques that restore breathing and heart function or clear the airways, including cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, airway clearance, chest physiotherapy, chest wall oscillation, glossopharyngeal breathing, the Papworth method and diaphragm pacing. An entry belongs here when its own source describes rehabilitation for the heart, lungs or breathing. It excludes oxygen and pressure therapies. Each member is a physical rehabilitation entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.

Has Member: Cardiac Rehabilitation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Cardiac Rehabilitation, Introduction
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the sum of activity and interventions required to ensure the best possible physical, mental, and social conditions so that patients with chronic or post-acute cardiovascular disease may, by their own efforts, preserve or resume their proper place in society and lead an active life".
Pulmonary rehabilitation (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Pulmonary Rehabilitation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Introduction
Pulmonary rehabilitation, also known as respiratory rehabilitation, is an important part of the management and health maintenance of people with chronic respiratory disease who remain symptomatic or continue to have decreased function despite standard medical treatment.
Airway clearance therapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Airway Clearance Therapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Airway Clearance Therapy, Introduction
Airway clearance therapy is a non-pharmacological treatment that uses a number of airway clearance techniques to clear the respiratory airways of mucus and other secretions.
Chest physiotherapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Chest Physiotherapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Chest Physiotherapy, Introduction
Chest physiotherapy (CPT) are treatments generally performed by physical therapists and respiratory therapists, whereby breathing is improved by the indirect removal of mucus from the breathing passages of a patient.
Chest wall oscillation (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Chest Wall Oscillation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Chest Wall Oscillation, Introduction
Chest wall oscillation is when devices are used in airway clearance therapy to clear excess mucus from lung airways (bronchi and bronchioles).
Glossopharyngeal breathing (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Glossopharyngeal Breathing, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Glossopharyngeal Breathing, Introduction
Glossopharyngeal breathing (GPB, glossopharyngeal insufflation, buccal pumping, or frog breathing) is a means of pistoning air into the lungs to volumes greater than can be achieved by the person's breathing muscles (greater than maximum inspiratory capacity).
Papworth Method (Wikipedia)
WikipediaHas Member: Papworth Method, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Papworth Method, Introduction
The Papworth method is a specific diaphragmatic breathing technique that was developed in the 1960s.
Diaphragm pacing (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Diaphragm Pacing, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Diaphragm Pacing, Introduction
Diaphragm pacing (and earlier as electrophrenic respiration) is the rhythmic application of electrical impulses to the diaphragm to provide artificial ventilatory support for respiratory failure or sleep apnea.
Cardiovascular and pulmonary physiotherapy (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physiotherapy, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physiotherapy, Introduction
Physiotherapists treating patients following uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or CABG) surgery continue to use interventions such as deep breathing exercises that are not supported by best available evidence.
External counterpulsation (Wikipedia)
Has Member: External Counterpulsation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: External Counterpulsation, Introduction
External counterpulsation therapy (ECP) is a procedure that may be performed on individuals with angina, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.
