ABSTRACT
The rehabilitation of respiratory function in exudative pleurisy has two objectives, namely the prevention of adhesions, or, when this is no longer possible, to limit their influences on respiratory function. Stress is laid on the importance of the moment when rehabilitation management begins. The main moments of the treatment programme are reviewed, and an explanation is offered of the techniques adopted, and the functional tests best suited for assessment of the results. Lastly, reference is made to the satisfactory results observed in 50 patients.
