<p>The objective of the contact was to gain in-depth insights into the treatment and care of children with cystic fibrosis. The therapist's expertise was intended to help develop a better understanding of the challenges and necessary measures in the treatment of this chronic disease. In addition, the aim was to ascertain how the therapy is implemented in everyday life and which specific approaches and methods are particularly effective. </p>
<h4>Insights</h4>
<p>The interview yielded valuable insights into the regular implementation of the therapy, the use of aids, and the adaptation
of exercises to the individual needs of the patients. It was notable that the therapy has improved
considerably thanks to better medication and adapted exercises, with a concomitant increase in life
expectancy for children affected by cystic fibrosis. Of particular interest was the emphasis
on the importance of sport and exercise, which should not only be therapeutically effective, but also increase quality of life. </p>

<h4>Implementation</h4>
<p>The following statement by Katrin Westhoff had a particularly profound impact on our project: "The more we know, the more opportunities we have."
We learned from the interview that the current medication is already helping many patients to a huge
extent, but that there is still a significant opportunity for improvement. After all, successful gene
therapy would markedly enhance the quality of life for those affected. The findings of this project will
be disseminated to the relevant researchers in order to facilitate the rapid improvement of the quality of
life of all cystic fibrosis patients, regardless of their mutation. </p>
