Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effects of respiratory exercises on respiratory function test parameters and ultrasonographic diaphragmatic measurements. Half of the hemiplegic patients will receive respiratory and neurophysiological exercises, while other half will receive only neurophysiological exercises.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After stroke, diaphragm, the most important muscle of respiration, is wasted as well as the other muscles of the affected side.

Ultrasonography is a non-invasive, practical, low cost utility that may measure the thickness of diaphragm in maximum expiration and inspiration thus examining the functionality of the muscle. Correlation between respiratory functional tests and diaphragm ultrasonography has been proven in recent literature. In this manner, the aim of this study is twofold. First is to determine whether ultrasonography can be used practically to evaluate the respiratory functions of the patients after stroke. Respiratory function tests will be used for the correlation analysis. Second is to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory exercises via diaphragm ultrasonography and respiratory function tests.
