What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis, as a genetic condition, manifests itself even in the early stages of life and causes dense mucus accumulation in people's lungs and other organs. The treatment of this disease requires a multifaceted approach, requiring different disciplines of medicine to produce solutions in cooperation. As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we understand that physiotherapy is an important component in the treatment of cystic fibrosis and we strive to offer our patients the most up-to-date and effective treatment methods.

The most important step in the treatment of cystic fibrosis is to keep the airways open and support their functionality. In this context, personalized breathing exercises, cough techniques and mucus drainage methods are applied. At the Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we carry out these techniques in a way that integrates them into the daily life of the individual, accompanied by expert therapists.

In addition to improving respiratory function, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are often used to control infection in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. In addition, it is essential that patients receive nutritional support and meet their metabolic needs with digestive enzymes and vitamin supplements. We offer medical treatments and physiotherapy with an integrated approach in order to improve the general health of our patients.

Innovative applications such as genetic therapies and CFTR modulators have come to the fore in the treatment of cystic fibrosis in recent years. These methods are based on increasing the function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein or delivering corrected versions of it into cells. This aspect of treatment is carried out in conjunction with genetic analyzes and personalized medication plans. We consider such advanced technology solutions in our treatment plans and evaluate the most suitable options for our patients.

Physiotherapy includes regular exercise programs to increase muscle strength and endurance. At the Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we offer specially prepared conditioning and strengthening exercises for individuals with cystic fibrosis, ensuring that patients feel more energetic and can continue their daily activities more easily. Exercise therapy not only increases physical capacity, but also significantly improves patients' psychological and social well-being.

Special physiotherapy techniques used in treatment, such as active cycle breathing, postural drainage and percussion, allow mucus to be removed from the lungs more effectively. These methods help liquefy mucus and play a key role in improving lung function. These techniques, which are offered and constantly updated in our center, make significant contributions to improving the quality of life of our patients.
