[Purpose] The main purpose of this study was to compare the effects of core stabilization and chest mobilization exercises on pulmonary function and chest expansion in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty stroke patients were randomly divided into two groups: a core stabilization exercise group (n=15) and a chest mobilization exercise group (n=15). Each exercise was performed 3 times per week for 30 minutes for 4 weeks, and pulmonary function and chest expansion when breathing were measured for both groups. [Results] There were significant increases in both forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second before and after intervention. Core stabilization exercise resulted in a significant increase in peak expiratory flow, and significant increases in upper and lower chest expansion were detected with chest mobilization exercise. However, no significant difference was revealed between the two groups. [Conclusion] This study suggested that both exercises were effective in some aspects of pulmonary function while core stabilization can help increase peak expiratory flow and chest mobilization can assist with chest expansion.
[目的]本研究的主要目的是比较核心稳定训练和胸部松动训练对慢性脑卒中患者肺功能和胸廓扩张的影响。[对象与方法]30例脑卒中患者随机分为两组：核心稳定训练组（n = 15）和胸部松动训练组（n = 15）。每组每周进行3次训练，每次30分钟，共4周，测量两组训练前后的肺功能和呼吸时的胸廓扩张度。[结果]干预前后两组的用力肺活量和第1秒用力呼气量均显著增加。核心稳定训练使呼气峰值流量显著增加，胸部松动训练使上胸部和下胸部扩张度显著增加。然而，两组之间未发现显著差异。[结论]本研究表明，两种训练在肺功能的某些方面均有效，核心稳定训练有助于增加呼气峰值流量，胸部松动训练有助于胸廓扩张。
