Brief Summary

Stroke, which can occur due to many different causes and is one of the most common neurological conditions, is one of the main causes of disability worldwide. The most common disorders that occur after stroke are motor disorders. In addition, respiratory problems such as changes in breathing patterns and decreased ventilation function may accompany these patients. Respiratory problems are an important risk factor in the development of long-term mortality for both cardiovascular diseases and stroke. With all these changes, a serious decrease in patients' activity performance is observed. While the focus is on motor function losses in stroke rehabilitation, problems in pulmonary functions do not receive the necessary attention. In stroke rehabilitation, evaluating and treating patients from every perspective will further increase the effectiveness of the treatments applied.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Respiratory Function Tests

  These are tests used in combination with the clinic to evaluate and grade damage and abnormalities in respiratory system functions. Spirometric measurement reflects the time, volume and flow values measured during normal breathing, forced inspiration, forced expiration, deep and rapid breathing for a certain period of time. The test is evaluated by comparing the basal values obtained by creating gender, height, weight and age groups in healthy people in the community where the measurement is made. Lung functions physiologically consist of four volumes. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), residual volume (RV) and tidal volume (VT). The sum of the four volumes gives the total lung capacity (TLC).

  1 day (It will be performed one time.)

  1 day (It will be performed one time.)

• Berg Balance Scale

  1 day (It will be performed one time.)
