Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Maximum inspiratory pressure

    The change of the maximum inspiratory pressure from the beginning, at 4 weeks and At 8 weeks

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • Forzed vital capacity

    The change of the forzed vital capacity from the beginning and at the end of the intervention

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • Forzed espiratory volume in the first second

    The change of the forzed espiratory volumen in the first second beginning and in the end of the intervention using a spirometer

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • Voluntary maximum ventilation

    The change of the voluntary maximum ventilation from the beginning and at the end of the intervention using a spirometer

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • The "Berg balance scale" Test

    The change of the balance at the beginning and in the end of the intervention using the berg balance scale tool. The máximum value of this scale is 56 points, and the mínimum is 0 points. A higher value represents a better outcome.

    From the first day of evaluation and at Eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • The postural assessment scale for stroke patients (PASS )test

    The change of the balance of the trunk at the beginning and in the end of the intervention using the postural assessment scale for stroke patinents tool. The maximum value of tris scale is 36 points. The minimum is 0 points.Higher values represents a better outcome.

    From the first day of evaluation and at Eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • Trunk control test (TCT)

    The change of the trunk control at the beginning and in the end of the intervention. The maximum value is 100 points, and the minimum 0 points. Higher values represents a better outcome

    From the first day of evaluation and at Eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Quadriceps dynamometry

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • "Functional ambulatory classificator" Test

    From the first day of evaluation and at Eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • "Functional ambulatory classificator Hospital de Sagunto" Test

    From the first day of evaluation and at Eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

  • SF-36 health survey

    From the first day of evaluation and at eight weeks of the beginning of the intervention

Study Arms (2)

IMT-GE

EXPERIMENTAL

the participants will perform a training protocol of the inspiratory muscles during 8 weeks with a load that will increase from the 15% of the maximal inspiratory preassure until the 60% of the maximal inspiratory preassure.

Device: IMT

IMT-GP

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The participants will perform a training protocol of the inspiratory muscles during 8 weeks with a load that will be the 10% of the maximal inspiratory preassure during all the 8 weeks

Device: IMT

Interventions

IMTDEVICE

A training protocol of the inspiratory muscles that goes from the 15% of the maximal inspiratory muscle preassure until the 60% of the maximal inspiratory muscle preassure during 8 weeks
