About this trial

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between diaphragm morphology (diaphragm excursion, end-inspiratory and end-expiratory diaphragm thickness, and thickening fraction) and respiratory muscle strength (maximum inspiratory pressure - MIP and maximum expiratory pressure - MEP) in patients with subacute hemiplegia.
