A1 - Wong, Marlon L. A2 - DeTurk, William E. A2 - Cahalin, Lawrence P. Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy: An Evidence-Based Approach, 3e AB - The purpose of this chapter is to describe common musculoskeletal and integumentary pathologies and the evidence found in the literature regarding their influence on the cardiopulmonary system. Impairments of bony structures, joints, skin, fascia, and musculature of the thorax may lead to a decrease in cardiopulmonary function. These impairments will lead to impaired circulation, aerobic capacity/endurance, ventilation, and respiration/gas exchange by restriction of movement of structures in the body. This results in decreased functional mobility of the patient and disability. This chapter will also describe the evidence in the literature as it relates to the interventions commonly associated with these pathologies.
