Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect on the pulmonary function of stroke patient by mediatingrespiratory resistance training combines transcranial direct current stimulation.
Methods: 30 stroke patients were selected as the subjects of study, and divided them randomly into arespiratory resistance training group combining with transcranial direct current stimulation (Experiment group)and general respiratory resistance training group (Control group). All subjects of this study were providedgeneral neurologic physical therapy for 30 minutes, and then additionally provided each respiratory resistancetraining with transcranial direct current stimulation and general respiratory resistance training according togroup, 5 times a week for 30 minutes for totally 8 weeks. Pulmonary function was analyzed before theintervention. The strength index, peak inspiratory flow and 6-minute walking test were measured in order toanalyze the breathing function. The analysis between the groups was performed by re-measuring above itemsequally after 8 weeks of intervention.
Results: Respiratory resistance training group with transcranial direct current stimulation (Experiment group)has statistically meaningful difference in pulmonary function compared to the general respiratory resistancetraining group (Control group) based on the comparative analysis of strength index, peak inspiratory flow and6-minute walking test between two groups.
Conclusion: As a result of above, it was found that respiratory resistance training with transcranial directcurrent stimulation was more effective for pulmonary function. This training shall be proposed as an effectiveprogram not only for the stroke patients but also for normal people or pro-athletes based on this study. Futurestudies on muscle changes related to pulmonary function are necessary in the future based on this study.
