Collective evidence suggests that strength training for swallowing-related structures leads to increases in structural strength, endurance, and muscle mass. The effects of exercises on overall swallowing efficiency and safety remain unclear. Results should be interpreted with caution due to methodological ...
While still useful options, evidence provided in this chapter supports the concept that patients with dysphagia caused, at least in part, by oropharyngeal weakness that complete progressive oropharyngeal strengthening exercises are capable of making significant gains in swallowing kinematics with associated ...

Noun1.dysphagia- condition in which swallowing is difficult or painful disorder,upset- a physical condition in which there is a disturbance of normal functioning; "the doctor prescribed some medicine for the disorder"; "everyone gets stomach upsets from time to time" ...
fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, high-resolution manometry, as well as functional lumen imaging probe technology. Determining the particular etiology of OD in a patient can direct appropriate treatment. Management options for OD range from noninvasive swallow exercises and rehabilitative tec...
76 A comprehensive clinical assessment of swallowing should be considered an essential part of intervention for all patients with previously confirmed or likely dysphagia (ie, positive screening finding). There are several elements that comprise a clinical swallowing evaluation, including a comprehensive...
ConclusionThis pilot study showed indications that using vocal exercises in swallowing rehabilitation in stroke patients was able to yield a greater increase in the oral intake levels. Nevertheless, further controlled blind clinical trials with larger samples are required to confirm such evidence, as ...
Efforts to mitigate long term toxicity and specifically dysphagia have included treatment de-escalation [14], implementation of swallowing exercises [15], and targeted approaches to reducing radiation dose to swallowing structures [16]. Studies aiming to decrease the incidence of dysphagia have shown ...
By 2013, Jeff’s swallowing became unsustainable. He had his second swallow study which confirmed aspiration. Aspiration in this case is where food and liquid enters the lungs. He met with a speech-language pathologist who prescribed a set of oral exercises. When those failed, he went ...
