Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory training as part of a comprehensive spa and medical rehabilitation. Materials and methods. Studies were performed in 90 patients with bronchial asthma and 60 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia. During physical training, New Breath breathing simulators were used. The effectiveness of medical rehabilitation was evaluated according to the severity of impaired body functions related to the corresponding domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Results. Under rehabilitation, the condition of patients in both groups improved significantly, systemic rehabilitation effects in the form of improved indicators of the blood system and its oxygen transport functions, as well as increased reserves for handling stress and other psychological demands were notified. Conclusion. The study suggests the inclusion of physical exercises with the New Breath simulator in the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with chronic cerebral ischemia and obstructive diseases of the respiratory system.
