No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle strengthening exercises on bilateral parasternal intercostal muscle thickness and bilateral diaphragm muscle thickness in stroke patients and to present new data on whether the possible effect on the affected side can be associated with changes in respiratory parameters. Furthermore, as previous literature has shown that 4-week exercise programs are more effective than \>6-week exercise programs, an interim assessment is planned for the second week of treatment in this study to evaluate shorter-term changes. Four weeks after completion of the exercise program (in the 8th week), patients will be re-evaluated to track potential short-term effects.
