Effect of Expiratory Muscle Training on Stomatognathic System in Patients With Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Expiratory muscle training for Stroke and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 146 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Stroke affects the vital activities of daily living such as breathing and swallowing. After stroke excursion of the diaphragm reduces about 50%, and also the maximum expiratory pressure of the individual 50% or higher. Dysphagia occurs in 29% to 45% of the acute stroke cases.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
For training group first maximum expiratory pressure measurement will be assessed with portable expiratory measurement device. Measurement will be taken while the patient in a sitting position. Three measurement values with 5% variation will be taken an average of these values recorded as a maximum expiratory pressure of the patient. After the maximum expiratory pressure of the patient is measured 50% percent of the related value will be set on the expiratory muscle trainer. Then patient will be informed about how to use the trainer. Trainer will be used daily for four weeks with 50 repetitions. At the end of every week pressures will be measured again for re-calibration of the trainer.
