Effects of Resistive Diaphragmatic Training on Chronic Stroke

Stroke (CVA) or TIA Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Resistive Diaphragmatic Training on Pulmonary Functions in Patients With Chronic Stroke

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the effects of resistive diaphragmatic training on pulmonary function of chronic stroke patients. And also assessing their compromised respiratory functions

Clinical Trial Description

This study is to examine the effects of Diaphragmatic breathing exercises with resistance and Digital spirometer training for improving pulmonary functions in chronic stroke patients. Diaphragmatic Resistance training is based on the same principal as for the any other Skeletal Muscle training. The selection of 20 subjects divided equally and placed into an experimental group and a control group and the interventions would applied three times per week for 4 weeks. In each session, both groups receive Digital spirometer training for 15 minutes. In addition, experimental group receive diaphragm breathing exercises with resistance for 30 minutes. Resistance is Applied through Different thera bands and then performing the Breathing Exercises. First of all resistance applied through yellow band(1-6 pounds of resistance) and then red, Green and black which give (4-18 Pounds of resistance) The patient is asked to breath in deeply and slowly while not to move upper chest .Weight increased weekly as per patient's tolerance. Further Digital spirometer training Perform to determine the Pulmonary Functions FVC,FEV1,FVC/FEV1,PEF,VC. in both Control and Experimental Groups ;
