Effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, diaphragmatic thickness, balance control, exercise capacity and quality of life in people after stroke: A randomized controlled trial protocol
Results of this study will primarily inform the effect of IMT on lung function, balance control, exercise capacity and QOL in addition to physical rehabilitation, further the interplay between the change in diaphragm thickness, balance and QOL will be analysed in detail.
