Objective:

Materials and method:

The keywords "Aged", "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive", "Rehabilitation - Telerehabilitation" were used to identify articles.
Results:
The average age of the participants was 65.4, male studies predominated and of the elderly included with COPD, 50% suffered from severe COPD. Regarding the description of the rehabilitation programs, 75% had follow-up of the results, from 3 to 12 months, 50% of the programs had a duration of 10 weeks, in 50% of the cases the patients were provided with technology for home use and only 15% used a mobile application.
