Abstract		With patients suffering from a chronic lung disease, a particular posture can be observed. The present work evaluates this posture in terms of the patient's abilities and proposes a programme for posture improvement and better physical activity. A comparison between patients suffering from chronic lung disease and those suffering from infantile scoliosis, carned out by author, shows that with both groups the same organic systems are affected, the affect being of different intensity or occuring in different orders. The paper also describes the work of the physiotherapist aiming at improving the neuromuscular balance of the patiens recovering from a thoracotomy.
