Medical complications after stroke
2010, The Lancet NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, a formal evaluation of swallowing function and appropriate dietary modifications in patients with dysphagia are crucial for preventing chest infections. Weakness of expiratory muscles and an impaired cough also contribute to a high susceptibility to pneumonia in these patients.46,47 Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies in patients with stroke have shown that even unilateral hemispheric strokes can lead to impairment of voluntary peak cough flow rates and other cortically controlled measures of expiratory muscle function, resulting in a weakened cough.48
