141 Biomedical and Biopharmaceutical Research J o r n a l d e I n v e s t i g a ç ã o B i o m é d i c a e B i o f a r m a c ê u t i c a Respiratory Changes in Patients with Stroke Alterações Respiratórias nos Pacientes com Acidente Vascular AbstractThis study aimed to review published literature concerning the major changes that occur in the respiratory system after stroke, and also the impact of respiratory muscle training in these patients. The literature search was conducted through electronic databases (PubMed, SciELO and Pedro) in Portuguese and English languages on themes related to changes in the respiratory system and methods of assessment and rehabilitation of respiratory muscle strength in individuals affected by stroke. There is scientific evidence that individuals affected by stroke may show decreased inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength. Studies suggest that respiratory muscle training through threshold load can bring benefits by improving respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength. However, more studies should be conducted to deepen the knowledge about the benefits and long-term effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with stroke. Keywords: Stroke, Respiratory Muscle Strength, Maximum Respiratory Pressure and Respiratory MuscleTraining. ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as principais alterações que ocorrem no sistema respiratório após o Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) e também sobre os efeitos de treino muscular respiratório nestes pacientes. A metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa de artigos através das bases de dados electrónicas (Pubmed, Scielo e Pedro) em língua portuguesa e inglesa relacionando os temas: alterações do sistema respiratório e métodos de avaliação e reabilitação da força muscular respiratória em indivíduos acometidos pelo AVC. Existe evidência científica de que indivíduos acometidos pelo AVC podem apresentar diminuição da força muscular inspiratória e expiratória. Estudos sugerem que o treino muscular respiratório, através de carga limiar, pode trazer benefícios quanto a melhora da função respiratória e da força dos músculos respiratórios. Porém, mais estudos devem ser realizados para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre os benefícios e efeitos a longo prazo da reabilitação respiratória em pacientes com AVC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
