[Application of ammotherapy for the remedial treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the rehabilitative phase].

The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and physiological efficiency of ammotherapy (PT) applied to the treatment of 112 patients in the phase of partial remission. It was shown that combination of standard baseline therapy and ammotherapy ensured positive dynamics of clinical symptoms and substantially improved parameters of external respiration and hemodynamics. It is concluded that ammotherapy can be recommended for a more extensive application to the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
