Can ultrasound reveal hidden breathing muscle problems after stroke?

NCT ID NCT07670585

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will use ultrasound to measure the thickness and movement of breathing muscles between the ribs in 65 stroke patients. Researchers will compare the affected and unaffected sides and see how these measurements relate to breathing strength, movement, balance, and quality of life. A healthy control group will provide normal values for comparison. The goal is to better understand how stroke affects breathing muscles.
