ABSTRACT
In this study, a portable prototype device was designed and developed for physiotherapy applications in diseases that cause respiratory problems, such as COPD, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, Bronchiectasis, Chronic Asthma, and Cystic Fibrosis. This programmable device is intended to be used for respiratory rehabilitation in the aforementioned diseases. The device controls the operation of an electro-pneumatic system through a microcontroller. The microcontroller processes parameters provided by the user and various data from sensors to generate the necessary commands and appropriate responses. In this way, the physician or rehabilitation specialist can manually or automatically optimize the adjustable device parameters based on the patient's condition, thereby accelerating the treatment process and increasing its effectiveness.
