Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of early core muscles and manual respiratory function training on stroke patients with dysphagia. Methods From June, 2015 to January, 2016, 60 stroke patients with dysphagia were divided equally into control group and obser-vation group randomly. Both groups accepted routine swallowing function training, electrical stimulation and respiratory function training, while the observation group accepted core muscles training and manual respiratory function training, for four weeks. They were evaluated with Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum ventilatory volume (MVV) and the maximum ex-piratory time before and after treatment. Results All the indices improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Core muscles and manual respiratory function training at early stage can obviously improve swallowing and respiratory function of stroke patients with dysphagia.
