Respiratory function in chronic stroke patients: an observational study
Conclusion: Our results showed that chronic stroke patients show significant impairment in pulmonary function, cough effectiveness, and respiratory muscle strength compared to the control group, and as a consequence, a loss of functionality at this level.

The syndrome of respiratory failure in acute stroke patients
Conclusions: The assessment for respiratory failure (arterial blood gasses) should include in routine diagnostic protocol for all acute stroke patients. t-He/O2 effective treatment option for that category of patients since it improves clinical neurologic disability and respiratory failure symptoms.

Cut-off Values of the Respiratory Muscle Power and Peak Cough Flow in Post-Stroke Dysphagia.
Conclusions: Our study has provided cut-off values that are associated with increased risk of dysphagia. Among the three parameters, PCF showed increased association with post-stroke dysphagia. PMID: 33255271 [PubMed - in process]

A Comparative Study of Smartphone Game with Spirometry for Pulmonary Function Assessment in Stroke Patients.
Conclusion: We compared the relationship between the SGA and the spirometry as certified pulmonary function test. The SGA data were statistically significant and reliable for pulmonary function assessment in stroke patients. It will therefore be useful during rehabilitation to improve pulmonary function and clinical monitoring in stroke patients. PMID: 30519571 [PubMed - in process]

Test-retest reliability of respiratory muscle testing in stroke
Conclusion: There was good test-retest reliability of MIP and MEP measures, but SNIP shows more variation and may require a practice session in stroke patients.

Effects of incremental inspiratory load on inspiratory muscles activity in stroke subjects in comparison to healthy individuals
Conclusion: Incremental inspiratory loads were able to increase muscles activity in stroke subjects and controls, differently. Reduce the activity of paretic side inspiratory muscle suggests the influence of the disease on muscular activity.

Measurement properties of maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests protocols in persons after stroke: A systematic review.
CONCLUSION: No judgement could be made on which protocol is "best" for measuring VO2max in persons after stroke due to lack of high-quality studies on the measurement properties of the cardiopulmonary exercise test. PMID: 28862313 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship between pulmonary function, functional independence, and trunk control in patients with stroke
Conclusion The present study showed that respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional independence, and trunk control are reduced in patients diagnosed with stroke.RESUMO Acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) frequentemente leva a anormalidades no t ônus muscular, postura e controle motor que podem comprometer a função motora voluntária, afetando o controle motor necessário para manter a sinergia dos músculos periféricos e respiratórios. Objetivo Avaliar a força muscular respiratória, a função pulmonar, o controle do tronco e a in dependência funcional em pacientes com AVC e correlacionar o controle ...

Can you learn to cough after having a stroke?
A strong cough, requires powerful coordinated contraction of expiratory (abdominal) muscles. The expiratory muscles contract to build up high positive intrapleural and intra-airway pressures for development of peak expiratory Flow rates. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has been shown to improve parameters related to pulmonary function, speech, and cough.However, no one has investigated what changes occur in the activation of abdominal muscles after training. The aim of this study is to clarify which role plays the coordination of abdominal muscles in expiratory flows. The null hypothesis was that stroke patients...

Breathing pattern and asymmetry of the rib cage in patients with hemiplegia after stroke: Comparison of breath-stacking technique and incentive spirometry
Conclusions: The results suggest that the BS technique reduces the asymmetry of the rib cage and optimizes the performance of the respiratory system during maintenance of lung volumes compared to the technique of incentive spirometry in subjects with hemiplegia following stroke.

Ventilatory pattern in chronic stroke survivors
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare dynamic lung volumes in chronic stroke survivors (SS) with a control group (CG) of healthy people matched by age and sex.Forced spirometries were performed, in line with the international statements. The reference values were calculated with the predictive equations proposed by Roca et al,1986.T test was used to determine differences in dynamic lung volumes between SS and CG.A cluster analysis was practiced to classify 2 different groups within the SS regarding to their dynamic lung volumes.The average age in SS (n=33) was 56.9±15.7 years. There were no significan...

Immediate effects of the respiratory stimulation on ventilation parameters in ischemic stroke survivors: A randomized interventional study (CONSORT)
Conclusion: A single application of respiratory stimulation through PNF positively affect air flow in the respiratory tract. Application of PNF stimulation contributed to an increase in the FEV1/FVC% parameter. However, no positive changes were noted in the other parameters, which would provide proof of the beneficial effect of facilitation on the respiratory system function.
