PMID 28728960WHAT IT FOUND
No results are reported.
This protocol plans to test high-intensity home-based respiratory muscle training after stroke, so it does not change practice yet.
What this paper is
This is a protocol for a planned randomized controlled trial. It describes how high-intensity home-based respiratory muscle training would be tested in people after stroke, including outcomes and analysis, but it reports no participants, results, or evidence about effectiveness. There is no finding here to change your practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that high-intensity home-based respiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength after stroke. The paper is a protocol and reports no results.
