Summary

Stroke a neurological disorder leads to long term disability and decline in overall quality of life. Pulmonary Functions are usually impaired in individuals with stroke. The common findings associated with pulmonary functions in Stroke patients are Decreased lung volumes, decreased pulmonary perfusion and vital capacity and altered chest wall excursion. For stroke patients, general rehabilitation programs, only aims towards their functional recovery of the body. The main focus of this study was to integrate intervention and implement them in rehabilitation programs that are related to respiration are more effective for improving functional activities.in stroke patients. The study was carried out to determine the effects of thoracic Joint Mobilization on Pulmonary Functions of patients with stroke.
