Effects of bedside self-exercise on oropharyngeal swallowing function in stroke patients with dysphagia: a pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-exercise on oropharyngeal swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. [Subjects and Methods] Nine patients with dysphagia after stroke were recruited. Self-exercise including effortful swallowing, tongue strengthening, and shaker exercise was performed 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Swallowing function was evaluated using the videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) based on a videofluoroscopic swallowing study. [Results] There were significant differences in both the oral and pharyngeal phases of the VDS before and after the intervention. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that bedside self-exercise is a positive method to improve oropharyngeal swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke.

Introduction: Swallowing disorders are commonly observed in more than one-third of patients with multiple sclerosis. Dysphagia in these patients, decreases quality of life and increases a risk of dehydration and aspiration pneumonia. These complications are a common cause of death and morbidity in late multiple sclerosis. The aim of this research was to examine the effects of thermal-tactile s...
متن کاملTongue-to-palate resistance training improves tongue strength and oropharyngeal swallowing function in subacute stroke survivors with dysphagia.
Tongue function can affect both the oral and pharyngeal stages of the swallowing process, and proper tongue strength is vital for safe oropharyngeal swallowing. This trial investigated the effect of tongue-to-palate resistance training (TPRT) on tongue strength and oropharyngeal swallowing function in stroke with dysphagia patients. This trial was performed using a 4-week, two-group, pre-post-d...

Introduction: Swallowing disorder or dysphagia is a common complication after conventional total thyroidectomy. Traditional dysphagia therapy (TDT) has long been a routine rehabilitation program for patients with dysphagia; however, there is no evidence to support the efficacy of this approach in patients with post-thyroidectomy dysphagia. Regarding this, the purpose of the current study ...
