First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a mobile breathing trainer (AiroFit PRO™) for 6 weeks can improve lung function, muscle strength, and quality of life in people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) after a stroke. 54 adults who are at least 3 months post-stroke will be randomly assigned to use the device or do standard breathing exercises. The goal is to see if the device offers extra benefits over traditional methods.
