The aim of this study was to analyze and assess the effect of expiratory muscle training 
on the stomatognathic system in patients with stroke. Total of 31 individual included as 16 
control and 15 study group to the study. Temporomandibular joint range of motion, 
masticatory muscle pressure pain threshold, facial asymmetry existence, head posture, oral 
hygiene health and habit, masticatory performance, intraoral pH, deglutition function and 
deep neck flexor muscle endurance of the individuals was assessed in order by; digital 
caliper, algometry, labial commissure and craniocervical angle measurement, general oral 
health assessment index and questionnaire, sieve test, digital pH gauge, repetitive saliva 
swallow test and, eating assessment tool and deep neck flexor endurance test. While study 
group was enrolled to 3-week respiratory muscle training in addition to conventional 
physiotherapy, control group enrolled to the conventional physiotherapy programme.
