The incidence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis increases with aging, and it may have severe pulmonary consequences. Different resources have been used and tested for treatment, such as˸ oxygen supplementation and pulmonary rehabilitation. The aim of this research was to report the effects of telerehabilitation on the persistent symptoms of a person with IPF. A 78-year-old female patient has a history of pulmonary fibrosis for about six years. The muscle strength was evaluated using MRC scale and the effort evaluation was performed using the BORG scale. After the initial evaluation, the patient performed the proposed muscle and respiratory strengthening exercises, consisting of twelve 1-hour telerehabilitation sessions. In the final evaluation the results indicated an increase in the MRC score (initial 56-point evaluation and final 60-point evaluation) and a reduction in the BORG scale (initial 9-point evaluation and final 2-point evaluation), besides the oxygenation improvement. We can conclude from these results that the pulmonary rehabilitation program, through the telerehabilitation was effective to the participant, since after applying the proposed exercises, an improvement in muscle strength and exercise tolerance was observed
