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.

Detailed description

As a third leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability, stroke still maintain its bad reputation in worldwide. Stroke owes its fame on wide range of symptoms mostly the musculoskeletal system symptoms such as spasticity, equilibrium and gait problems. Although mentioned symptoms keep their popularity devious two dysfunction caused by stroke; stomatognathic system dysfunction and respiratory dysfunction appears to change this equation. Considering the high incidence of dysphagia and the reduced cardiopulmonary capacity of the stroke patients, it seems inevitable. From this perspective aim of this study is to assess the effect of expiratory muscle training on the stomatognathic system in patients with stroke and as mentioned aid to shatter the mentioned equation.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Mastication Disorder
• Temporomandibular Disorders
• Dysphagia
• Stomatognathic Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Expiratory muscle training	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.
