Respiratory Muscle Functions With Balance and Gait in Stroke Patients

Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Summary

Stroke, which can occur due to many different causes and is one of the most common neurological conditions, is one of the main causes of disability worldwide. The most common disorders that occur after stroke are motor disorders. In addition, respiratory problems such as changes in breathing patterns and decreased ventilation function may accompany these patients. Respiratory problems are an important risk factor in the development of long-term mortality for both cardiovascular diseases and stroke. With all these changes, a serious decrease in patients' activity performance is observed. While the focus is on motor function losses in stroke rehabilitation, problems in pulmonary functions do not receive the necessary attention. In stroke rehabilitation, evaluating and treating patients from every perspective will further increase the effectiveness of the treatments applied.
