| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is unknown whether stroke affects functional properties of the diaphragm, so we investigated diaphragmatic movements in stroke patients by fluoroscopy. First, we investigated whether there were difference between diaphragmatic movements of affected side and that of unaffected side. Second, we investigated diaphragmatic movements in stroke patients compared with age matched controlled subjects.
The subjects were 16 first-ever stroke patients with unilateral involvement of the middle cerebral artery territory (males 8, females 8; mean age 66.6 years; ischemic 9, hemorrhagic, 7; right hemiplegia 6, left hemiplegia 10; mild-moderate paralysis 10, severe paralysis 6: period from onset 26.2±3.5days). The diaphragm on the affected side in stroke patients moved as much as that on the unaffected side during breathing. Diaphragmatic movements in stroke patients are not different from that in controlled subjects, except for right diaphragmatic movements at quiet breathing.
