What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationship between respiratory muscle strength, balance, trunk control, and functional capacity in stroke patients compared to healthy individuals. It recognizes that stroke can lead to significant impairments in motor functions and respiratory capabilities, which may affect overall physical performance. By assessing these factors, the study seeks to highlight the importance of respiratory evaluations in stroke rehabilitation and recovery.
