Evidence suggests that respiratory function is impaired poststroke. Body position is known to influence respiratory function in normal subjects and those with respiratory pathologies. Its effect on respiratory function after stroke has received little attention. However, one study suggests that some positions used in clinical practice may adversely influence respiratory function. This study therefore aimed to identify resting positions that maintain arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) at optimal levels, changes in SaO2 during time spent in the test position, and differences in SaO2 among the positions investigated.
