Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Stroke Rehabilitation Outcomes

with 10% maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) as the training intensity, IMT will be conducted on a stable surface

50% MIP as the training intensity, IMT will be conducted while sitting on a stable surface

50% MIP as the training intensity, IMT will be conducted while sitting on an unstable surface

Participants in all groups will receive a standardised conventional rehabilitation protocol. It includes limb range of motion, muscle tone reduction, strengthening and endurance of limb muscles, transfer skills, task-directed movements, general gait training, and activities of daily living training.
