Abstract

Patients with pulmonary diseases tend to get caught in a vicious circle. The disease causes dyspnea, especially during physical activities. Consequently these activities will be negatively rewarded, and the patient may eventually be conditioned not to undertake any activities at all. This will lead to inactivity, frustrations and social isolation.2
