简要总结
WHO defines stroke as rapidly developed clinical signs of focal(or global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than vascular origin. Stroke has various symptoms including muscular and cognitive domines, one of the most overlooked symptom is the respiratory complications. The aim of the study is to identify the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulator on the respiratory and abdominal muscles and its effects on the respiratory parameters. Selected participants will be randomly allocated into control group and experimental group. The control group will be receiving conventional physiotherapy established for stroke management and the experimental group will receive the conventional physiotherapy along with neuro-muscular electrical stimulation, electrical stimulation will be given for 5 days with the frequency of 50 Hz, pulse duration of 300 microseconds. the outcome measures which will be used are spirometry, chest expansion using inch tape, PALM meter and Barthel index, these outcomes will be assessed pre and post intervention. The data collected will be assessed and analysed.
