Effects of traditional Chinese exercises on cardiopulmonary function in stroke patients: A meta-analysis by Danmeng Tong, Hongyu Li, Wei Zhao, Wang Guo, Bin Chen, Qiang Tang

“…Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots as well as Begg's and Egger's tests, employing Stata 17.0 software. Results: A total of 23 studies were included in the analysis, and the results of the meta-analysis indicated that traditional Chinese exercises significantly improved cardiopulmonary function in post-stroke patients: pulmonary function indexes [FVC: SMD = 1.01, 95 %CI(0.66,1.35), I2= 88 %,P < 0.00001; FEV1: SMD = 1.22, 95 % CI (0.77,1.66), I2 = 91 %, P < 0.00001; PEF: SMD = 0.87, 95 % CI (0.53,1.21), I2= 83 %, P < 0.00001; MVV: MD = 9.65, 95 % CI (8.60,10.70), I2= 0 %, P = 0.55]; respiratory muscle function indexes [MIP: SMD = 0.72, 95 % CI (0.43,1.01) I2= 67 %, P = 0.001; MEP: SMD = 0.67, 95 %CI (0.49,0.86),I2 = 0 %, P = 0.55]; cardiac function index [LVEF: MD = 4.00, 95 % CI (2.28,5.72), I2 = 72 %, P = 0.01]; exercise endurance index [6MWT: MD = 4.49, 95 % CI (3.55,5.42), I2 = 0 %, P = 0.77]. …”
