Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has a vital role in the treatment of symptomatic patients with chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) therefore activating PR should be considered in medical care systems. In Saudi Arabia (KSA) prevalence of COPD is more than 2.4 % and factors cause COPD are numerous. The purpose of this paper is to provide a rationale for establishing PR program for COPD in KSA by be achieved by an assessment of available resources and using theory, evidence, and clinical guidelines to allow for supporting the creation of PR program for COPD. The review will also include a description of the program and a comparison with literature-based citations and accounts of local resources that are available. In addition, the proposal will also include the objective, location and equipment, patient assessments, exercise training and educational programs. In addition, models of delivering PR and program evaluation will be provided for PR program of COPD population.
