Breathing exercises to improve walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago walk better. You will do breathing exercises while also working on your walking, to see if it improves your speed and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 65 years old.
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk on your own for at least 10 meters (with or without a cane or walker).
- Your walking speed is moderately slow (about 0.4 to 0.8 meters per second).
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or metabolic conditions, and you haven't had chest or belly surgery in the last 6 months.
- You can understand instructions and are willing to join the study.

This study looks at how breathing muscle function relates to balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help find new ways to improve recovery.
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 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.
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 tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
