An interventional study of Incentive spirometer training and diaphragmatic resistance exercises in Stroke (CVA) or TIA, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-11-19.
Sponsored by Riphah International University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
To determine the effects of resistive diaphragmatic training on pulmonary function of chronic stroke patients. And also assessing their compromised respiratory functions
This study is to examine the effects of Diaphragmatic breathing exercises with resistance and Digital spirometer training for improving pulmonary functions in chronic stroke patients. Diaphragmatic Resistance training is based on the same principal as for the any other Skeletal Muscle training. The selection of 20 subjects divided equally and placed into an experimental group and a control group and the interventions would applied three times per week for 4 weeks. In each session, both groups receive Digital spirometer training for 15 minutes. In addition, experimental group receive diaphragm breathing exercises with resistance for 30 minutes. Resistance is Applied through Different thera bands and then performing the Breathing Exercises. First of all resistance applied through yellow band(1-6 pounds of resistance) and then red, Green and black which give (4-18 Pounds of resistance) The patient is asked to breath in deeply and slowly while not to move upper chest .Weight increased weekly as per patient's tolerance. Further Digital spirometer training Perform to determine the Pulmonary Functions FVC,FEV1,FVC/FEV1,PEF,VC. in both Control and Experimental Groups

Incentive spirometer training with diaphragm breathing with resistance exercises. Resistance is applied through the different Thera bands and then performing the pursed lip breathing exercise. Resistance increased weekly as per tolerance by the patient
Other: diaphragmatic resistance exercises
Incentive spirometer training 5 sessions a week, each session of 15 minutes, for 4 weeks
Incentive spirometer with diaphragmatic resistance exercises. Resistance is applied through the different Thera bands and then performing the pursed lip breathing exercise. Resistance increased weekly as per tolerance by the patient. Digital spirometer training for 15 minutes. diaphragm breathing exercises with resistance for 30 minutes. 5 sessions a week, for 4 weeks
FEV1
FEV1 is the amount of air you can force from your lungs in one second. It's measured during a spirometry test, also known as a pulmonary function test, which involves forcefully breathing out into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer machine.
Time frame: 4th week
FVC
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity are lung function tests that are measured during spirometry. Forced expiratory volume is the most important measurement of lung function.
Time frame: 4th week
Oxygen level in blood
Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood
Time frame: 4th week
Heart Rate
Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the heart rate
Time frame: 4th week
