Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training Combined With Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver on Balance, Gait, and Pulmonary Function in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This study examines how Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) combined with the Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver (ADIM) affects balance, gait, and breathing in stroke patients. It aims to determine whether this combined intervention improves mobility and respiratory function more effectively than standard rehabilitation.

Treatments
Experimental: Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) with Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver (ADIM) Group
participants recieve in IMT using a threshold resistance device, starting at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure and progressively increasing to 60% over four weeks. The ADIM is performed with verbal and manual guidance to ensure correct deep abdominal muscle engagement. Sessions are conducted five times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting 40 minutes (20 minutes for each intervention).
Sham_comparator: Sham Inspiratory Muscle Training(IMT) with Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver(ADIM) Group
participants recieve simulated IMT with minimal resistance while performing the same ADIM as the experimental group. This design ensures that any effects observed can be attributed to inspiratory muscle training rather than ADIM. Sessions are conducted five times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting 40 minutes (20 minutes for each intervention).
