Table 2. Findings of lung function tests for all groups.
Lung function tests | Right hemiplegia | Left hemiplegia | Control |
FVC (litres) | 64.3±27.2 (n=14)a | 68.3±12.8 (n=7)b | 88.4±20.7 (n=18) |
FEV1 (litres) | 72.5±32.4 (n=14)a | 79.1±18.8 (n=7)b | 100.8±18.9 (n=18) |
FEV1/FVC (%) | 82.0±14.8 (n=14)a | 85.1±10.9 (n=7)b | 83.1±10.3 (n=18) |
PImax (cmH2O) | 31.8±10.1 (n=11)a | 32.9±10.5 (n=7)b | 62.4±26.1 (n=17) |
PEmax (cmH2O) | 59.7±19.7 (n=11)a | 61.4±26.1 (n=7)b | 92.1±36.7 (n=17) |
FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; PEmax, maximum expiratory pressure; PImax, maximum inspiratory pressure.
ap<0.05, significantly different from right hemiplegia and controls.
bp<0.05, significantly different from left hemiplegia and controls.
