Breathing exercises for balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing specific breathing exercises can improve your ability to control your trunk (core) and keep your balance, especially when sitting or standing. It is designed for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and are able to walk short distances.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
