Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial. This current RCT study will be a continuing project based on the optimal IMT intensity identified from our ongoing study. This ongoing study (registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number NCT06267768) aims to explore the optimal IMT intensity for the recruitment of diaphragm muscles in people after a stroke. Based on this intensity, the aim of this RCT is to explore the effects of a 4-week protocol of IMT on respiratory function, balance control, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people after a stroke.
