Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF), also denominated mucoviscidosis, is a genetic disease of autosomal recessive type that affects mainly children and Caucasians. The aim of this study was to provide an updated view on CF, as well as potential physiotherapy treatment. PubMed and SciELO databases have been searched, during April 2002 to March 2013, using the following keywords: “cystic fibrosis”, “cystic fibrosis physiotherapy” and “respiratory physiotherapy”. This review showed the complexity of the disease and the physiotherapy modalities such as tapping, vibration, postural drainage (PD), huffing, oral high frequency oscillation (OHFO), autogenic drainage (AD) and the active cycle technique (ACT) have effectiveness both in the treatment and in maintaining the quality of life of CF patients.
