According to World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people have respiratory diseases. Chest physiotherapy is a method applied for these patients to breathe comfortably. For patients who do not have access to costly devices, chest physiotherapy applied daily by the physiotherapist or patient relatives is an effective treatment method. However, the accuracy and effectiveness of this method depend on the knowledge and experience of the person who applies it. There is a need for an education system design to increase the number of physiotherapists and patient relatives who are competent in this physiotherapy method worldwide.
