BACKGROUND: Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) and dynamic core-postural chain stabilization (DCS)- based exercise is effective for improving core stability and postural control in stroke patients. However, no study has reported respiratory function, increased fatigue and ADL function in subacute stroke patients by training using NDT and DCS exercises. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of DCS and NDT exercises on respiratory function, fatigue and activities of daily living in individuals with hemiparetic stroke. METHODS: Thirty-one participants with hemiparetic stroke (17 male, 14 female; mean age 60.4±14.58 years; post-stroke duration, 7.2±2.2 weeks) participated in this study. The participants were randomly allocated into DCS (n = 16) and NDT (n = 15). Respiratory function was determined using forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP). The fatigue severity scale (FSS) and functional independent measure (FIM) were used to evaluate fatigue severity and activities of daily living (ADL). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate post-test differences in the DCS and NDT exercise groups. RESULTS: ANCOVA revealed the superior effects of DCS in respiratory function, as well as clinical FSS and FIM tests, compared with those of NDT (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that DCS training was more effective than NDT training at improving respiratory function, fatigue severity and ADL via balanced co-activation of the diaphragm and increased diaphragm movement in individuals with hemiparetic stroke.
