Summary

Background: Our study aims to determine the effect of relaxation and breathing exercises in addition to the treatment procedure on depression level, sleep quality, and spasticity in hemiplegic patients.

Methods: Thirty patients aged 40-70 years diagnosed with hemiplegia were included in the study. All patients received the same Bobath exercise three days a week for six weeks. Patients in Group 2 additionally received breathing and relaxation exercises. Sleep quality assessment by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), depression by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and spasticity by Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were used. All assessments were made at baseline and six weeks after exercise treatments.

The Bobath approach aims to enhance postural and neuromotor control goal-directedly, leading to functional improvement. Our study selected the Bobath 30 exercises from the fundamental exercises to create a program specific to the goal and targeting functionality. The ten Bobath exercises performed by all participants in the study are as follows: Bridging Exercise, Latissimus Stretch Exercise, Autoinhibition Exercise, Dorsiflexion Training, Sitting Balance Training, Upper Extremity Weight Shifting Exercise, Lower Extremity Weight Shifting Exercise, Oblique Abdominal Strengthening Exercise, Knee Control Training, and Walking Training.

The puckered lip breathing exercise aims to prevent the closure of the small airways by creating pressure during expiration. During the exercise, the individual is asked to follow these steps: 1. Breathe calmly and slowly through the nose. 2. Pucker the lips as if whistling or inflating a balloon. 3. Exhale the breath with puckered lips. Relaxation exercises Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique: Progressive muscle relaxation is one of the easiest methods to learn and apply, developed by Jacobson. It involves voluntarily tensing and relaxing large muscle groups regularly and sequentially. The participant was encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, breathe deeply, and exhale. The technique can be performed in a sitting or lying position. Music can be played to contribute to the participant's relaxation.
