[Performance of kinesitherapy by parents in the treatment of cystic fibrosis].
A transverse study was conducted in the form of a written survey in order to evaluate chest physiotherapy performed by parents or the children themselves. Despite the low response rate of 31%, we found that 25% of the children were not treated by a professional physiotherapist. Furthermore, the results also pointed to the failure to elicit a cough during clearance procedure (50% of cases) together with the great disparity in the chest therapy technics. All staff members involved with parents and children with cystic fibrosis should regularly check and adapt the whole treatment programme.
