Effect of a Comprehensive Mobile-Based Respiratory Training Program on Respiratory Function in Survivors of Acute Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Background: Respiratory dysfunction frequently occurs during the acute phase of stroke and is associated with reduced ventilatory capacity, respiratory muscle weakness, and increased pulmonary complications. However, delivering standardized respiratory training during hospitalization is often constrained by staffing and service continuity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of a hospital-based comprehensive mobile-based respiratory training program (CMRTP) added to conventional rehabilitation in people with acute stroke who are inpatients. Methods: This single-center, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial enrolled 40 patients within 2 weeks after stroke onset with respiratory dysfunction (forced vital capacity
