Acapella

Question
Should any other forms of respiratory rehabilitation be done while using Acapella?
Answer
Hello,
Using Acapella is one of the most recommended techniques of respiratory rehabilitation. It enables an active and self-dependent rehabilitation. However, each patient should be treated individually and an individual course of rehabilitation should be established. If the patient is doing the exercises correctly using this device and is determined and aware of the fact, how important role plays the physiotherapy in each CF patient' life and his clinical status and efficiency are good, using of Acapella and physical activity are sufficient forms of rehabilitation.
