Progress in the Study of Respiratory Muscle Training on the Recovery of Swallowing Disorders Post-Stroke

Normal swallowing requires the close coordination of respiratory movements. Effective respiratory movements can reduce the occurrence of swallowing disorders. Respiratory muscle training can enhance the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles, alleviate respiratory fatigue, and improve the coordination between respiratory movements and the swallowing process. This article summarizes the physiological characteristics related to respiratory muscles and swallowing, the mechanism of action of respiratory muscle training, and the application value of respiratory muscle training in swallowing disorders, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for studying the relationship between respiratory muscle training and post-stroke swallowing disorders.
