Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
the investigators propose an interdisciplinary intervention, carried out by occupational therapists, nurses, physiotherapists and doctors specialised in this type of patient, aimed at improving conventional clinical practice and implementing a programme of functional re-education and environmental adaptation that implements conventional clinical practice, and which the investigators also consider to be an essential intervention in the follow-up of patients with associated respiratory pathology once they are discharged from hospital.
