Breathing and trunk muscle activity during exercise after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how your breathing and trunk muscles work during special breathing exercises on a stable surface and an unstable one. It may help understand how to improve breathing and balance after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 79 years old.
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) 1 to 12 months ago.
- You can breathe on your own and don't have any chest or stomach surgery in the last 6 months.
- Your memory and thinking are clear (score 26 or higher on a common test).
- No severe breathing problems, heart attack, or recent heart failure.
- You don't have a feeding tube or breathing tube.

This study tests if breathing muscle training can help improve breathing, balance, walking ability, and quality of life in people who had a stroke in the past 1 to 12 months. It is designed for those who can walk at least 10 meters and do not have severe facial weakness or cognitive problems.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help people recovering from stroke. You may benefit if you had a stroke up to 12 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
This study tests whether simple breathing exercises can help strengthen the muscles used for breathing after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you are an adult stroke survivor who can follow instructions and does not have other lung or muscle problems.
This study tests if adding breathing exercises to physical therapy helps people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. It focuses on walking and lung strength to improve recovery.
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle trainer can improve your body's stress regulation and lung function after a stroke. It may help if you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and are a man between 55 and 65 years old with a specific weight range.
