Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a home-based respiratory muscle training on swallowing function in patients with chronic stroke. The patients will be included in a experimental or a control group. The patients in the experimental group will receive a home-based respiratory training using respiratory devices added to standard treatment, while the participants in the control group will only receive the standard treatment.

Detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the effects of a home-based respiratory muscle training on swallowing function in patients with chronic stroke. The patients will be included in a experimental or a control group. The patients in the experimental group will receive home-based respiratory training using respiratory devices added to standard treatment, while the participants in the control group will only receive the standard treatment. The swallowing function will be assessed using specific tools and questionnaires. Secondary outcomes will evaluate the respiratory function. The intervention will have a duration of 6 weeks.

Conditions
