Abstract
Purpose : To examine the effects of chest expansion resistance exercise (CERE) applied to chronic stroke patients on their pulmonary functions, chest expansion, and functional gait ability.

Method : Three chronic stroke patients without any respiration-related rehabilitation program experience (2 men and 1 women) was performed chest expansion resistance exercise (CERE). Study design A case study design was used.
Result : Each participant was subject to a pulmonary function test, chest expansion test, 10-meter timed walking test (10MTWT), and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) prior to and after the exercise. Each participant forced vital capacity (FVC), force expiratory volume at one second (FEV1), peak expiratory floe (PEF), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), chest expansion, 10MTWT and 6MWT increased after the intervention.

Conclusion : The results of application of CERE to chronic stroke patients demonstrated the importance of respiratory exercise in an approach to stroke rehabilitation treatment intervention and the need to add respiratory exercise to a rehabilitation intervention program.
