![]() Hyperventilation is a major cause of hypoxemia in asthmatics. It is estimated that around 300 million people in the world currently have asthma. TRROM and TLFROM exercises should be considered to improve the lower chest expansion in stroke patients.īackground: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. In addition, a very strong positive correlation between TRROM and TLFROM was demonstrated. Upper chest expansion exercises should be considered to improve the PCF in stroke patients. This study demonstrates the relationship between upper chest expansion and PCF. There were significant correlations between lower chest expansion and TRROM (r = 0.50, p < 0.05) and between lower chest expansion and TLFROM (r = 0.51, p < 0.05). Statistically significant correlations were found between TRROM and TLFROM (r = 0.91, p < 0.01) and between upper chest expansion and PCF (r = 0.59, p < 0.01). Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the relationships between the variables. TRROM and TLFROM were assessed using smartphone applications (Compass and Clinometer), respectively, PCF was assessed using a peak flow meter, and chest expansion was assessed using a tape measure. This was an observational study involving 21 patients with a clinical diagnosis of stroke from October 2021 to January 2022. To determine the correlation between trunk rotation range of motion (TRROM) and trunk lateral flexion range of motion (TLFROM), peak cough flow (PCF), and chest expansion in stroke patients. Moreover, the respiratory function in stroke patients is affected by neurological impairment, which increases the incidence of respiratory complications. ![]() ![]() Stroke patients have problems with voluntary movement and trunk control.
