Assess the effect of inspiratory muscle training on lung function, muscle strength and trunk balance in survivors of stroke in the subacute phase of the disease
Assess the effect of inspiratory muscle training on lung function, muscle strength and trunk balance in survivors of stroke in the subacute phase of the disease. The intervention will be done in a group of patients who will be treated in the rehabilitation service at the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital. They will train using a threshold IMT device or a Powerbreathe device, to increase their inspiratory muscle strength in addition to a physical therapy treatment. The intervention will last eigtht weeks and the patients will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
