Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training and Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver on Balance, Gait and Pulmonary Function in Stroke Patients
Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training Combined With Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver on Balance, Gait, and Pulmonary Function in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study examines how Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) combined with the Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver (ADIM) affects balance, gait, and breathing in stroke patients. It aims to determine whether this combined intervention improves mobility and respiratory function more effectively than standard rehabilitation.
