Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of early core muscles and manual respiratory function training on stroke patients with dysphagia. MethodsFrom June, 2015 to January, 2016, 60 stroke patients with dysphagia were divided equally into control group and observation group randomly. Both groups accepted routine swallowing function training, electrical stimulation and respiratory function training, while the observation group accepted core muscles training and manual respiratory function training, for four weeks. They were evaluated with Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum ventilatory volume (MVV) and the maximum expiratory time before and after treatment. ResultsAll the indices improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). ConclusionCore muscles and manual respiratory function training at early stage can obviously improve swallowing and respiratory function of stroke patients with dysphagia.

Key words: stroke, dysphagia, core muscles training, manual respiratory function training
