Thoracolumbar Fascia Release on Pulmonary Function in Stroke

Summary

This study looks at how thoracolumbar fascia release affects breathing in people who had a stroke. After a stroke, many people have trouble breathing well because their muscles become stiff. We want to see if releasing the thoracolumbar fascia (a big sheet of tissue in the lower back) can help improve lung function.

Participants will be divided into three groups:

Control group - Receives standard stroke rehabilitation. Breathing exercise group - Gets standard rehabilitation plus breathing exercises.

Thoracolumbar fascia release group - Gets standard rehabilitation plus thoracolumbar fascia release therapy.

We will measure lung function right after a single session to see if this therapy makes breathing easier.

Our primary outcome is to check if thoracolumbar fascia release improves lung function compared to the other groups.

This study hopes to find new ways to help stroke survivors breathe better and feel more comfortable.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Pulmonary Function
  • Fascial Manipulation

Interventions

OTHER

Traditional stroke rehabilitation

Personalized traditional stroke rehabilitation programme including spasticity inhibition, sensory-perceptual-motor integration techniques, core stabilization and strengthening exercises, balance training i.e. applied as needed for stroke patients approximately for 45 minutes

OTHER

Thoracolumbar fascia release

Thoracolumbar fascia release was performed by physiotherapist for one session. Supine Pelvic Rotation, Supine Arm Elevation, Bending Forward in Sitting Position and Sitting Crossed Arm and Knee Positions were performed approximately for 10-15 minutes after 45 minutes of traditional stroke rehabilitation.

OTHER

Respiratory exercise

Respiratory exercises were performed by physiotherapist for one session. Pursed-Lip Breathing, Deep Breathing Exercise, Diaphragm Strengthening Exercise and Thoracic Expansion Exercises were performed approximately for 10-15 minutes after 45 minutes of traditional stroke rehabilitation.
