Abstract
In this editorial, we comment on the article by Stafie et al. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) constitutes a cluster of chronic and progressive inflammatory disorders affecting the digestive system. IBD can impede an individual's capacity to perform daily activities, hinder work productivity, limit physical capabilities, and negatively impact medical outcomes. Although physical activity and structured exercise programs are becoming increasingly important in many chronic inflammatory diseases, they are not being sufficiently implemented in IBD patients. Effective prevention of future disability and drug dependence in IBD patients requires timely diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including sarcopenia, as well as decreased muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and bone mineral density. To improve treatment outcomes for IBD patients, it is crucial to develop individualized rehabilitation programs tailored to their unique needs. Equally critical is the active participation of pertinent departments in this process. It is imperative to highlight the significance of creating a personalized rehabilitation program with a multidisciplinary approach in IBD management.
