Efficacy of interventions to improve respiratory function after stroke
Respiratory Care Jun 28, 2018
Menezes KKP, et al. - Researchers assessed the efficacies of all current interventions that have been used to improve respiratory function and activity following a stroke by analyzing data from randomized trials. In the analysis, 17 trials with 616 participants were included. This review reported five possible interventions utilized to improve respiratory function after stroke. They found that inspiratory and expiratory strength, lung function, and dyspnea were effectively improved by respiratory muscle training, and benefits were extended to activity. However, the efficacy of aerobic, breathing, and postural exercises, nor the addition of electrical stimulation in respiratory function could not be supported or refuted by this evidence.
