Abstract:
Objective To determine the inspiratory muscle function of chronic stroke patients. Methods From January to December, 2017, 40 chronic stroke patients and 40 healthy controls were tested inspiratory muscle function with Power Breathe K5. Results Compared with the controls, the average inspiratory muscle strength index, the maximum inspiratory muscle strength index, the average and maximum peak inspiratory flow, the average and maximum inspiratory capacity decreased (t>3.196, P<0.01), and the difference between the predicted and actual average inspiratory muscle strength index increased (t=8.269, P<0.001) in the patients. There was no difference in the normal predicted value of inspiratory muscle index between two groups (t=0.727, P>0.05). Conclusion Inspiratory muscle function is impaired in chronic stroke patients, and need to be trained in rehabilitation.
