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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults aged 18-80 years

Ability to tolerate diaphragm ultrasonography and MIP/MEP measurements
Disqualifiers
Respiratory comorbidities such as COPD, asthma, or interstitial lung disease
Diaphragmatic paralysis or severe chest wall deformity
Acute cardiopulmonary conditions preventing respiratory function testing
Severe cognitive impairment that may affect measurements
