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.
