    Post-stroke rehabilitation often neglects respiratory function, which can hinder comprehensive recovery efforts in stroke survivors.

  • 2

    The study found positive correlations between pulmonary function parameters and balance, motor skills, and trunk stability in stroke survivors.

  • 3

    Key pulmonary metrics, including VC%, FEV1%, and PEF%, were significantly associated with improved balance and motor function scores.

  • 4

    PEF% showed strong negative correlations with center of pressure path length and velocity, indicating better postural stability.

  • 5

    Integrating simple pulmonary assessments into stroke rehabilitation can enhance multidisciplinary collaboration and improve patient outcomes.
