PUST

The PUST app has been created by the units Physiotherapy children and the Child Physiologist at the Queen Silvia children's and youth hospital in Gothenburg, part of the Västra Götaland region. Here you will find advice and instructions on breathing techniques that can be used to reduce breathing difficulties that arise during physical exertion. These have been prepared in a collaboration between the units and are today given to children and adolescents with effort-induced breathing difficulties in connection with the implementation of lung function examination with effort provocation.

The advice is illustrated by texts and shorter video sequences in the app. The app can therefore take some time to download, but then you always have the advice with you in your pocket.

By learning different breathing techniques and resting these, it is possible that your breathing difficulties in connection with physical activity can decrease. To have better use of the exercises and understand how they can help you, there is a brief information section on how the airways look and work. The app also has a diary function, where you can rate your breathing difficulties and get an idea of ​​how the symptoms vary over time.
