| Description | Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease, the major problems being pancreatic malabsorption and progressive respiratory involvement, although numerous other organs may also be involved. The pulmonary pathology and the role of the physiotherapist in the treatment of cystic fibrosis is discussed. The physiotherapist plays an important role in the management of the child with cystic fibrosis, not only from the point of view of maintaining maximal pulmonary function but also because she comes into close contact with the family and can help in optimising the acceptance of the child into the family situation. | |
