Diaphragm Morphology and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Subacute Hemiplegic Patients
The Relationship Between Diaphragm Morphology and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Subacute Hemiplegic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
