Relationship between Functional Motor Ability and Respiratory Function in Patients with Stroke

Purpose: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between the functional motor ability and respiratory function in patients with stroke. Methods: The study enrolled 28 patients who had a clinical diagnosis of stoke with hemiplegia. The functional ability was assessed through the trunk impairment scale (TIS), timed up and go (TUG) test, and 10-m walk test (10MWT). The respiratory function was assessed by spirometry, measuring forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC), and peak expiratory flow (PEF). Correlation analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between these variables. Results: A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between TIS scores and PEF, showing the association of greater trunk stability with higher expiratory flow. TUG and 10MWT times exhibited significant negative correlations with FVC, FEV1, and PEF, suggesting that faster walking speeds with better mobility are associated with improved respiratory function. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that functional motor ability, including trunk stability and mobility, is closely related to respiratory function in patients with stroke. These findings provide important evidence for the development of rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving functional motor ability and respiratory function in patients with stroke.
