Official Title: Impact of Lingual Endurance Exercise on Rehabilitation of Swallowing Impairments After Ischemic Stroke
Brief Summary:
Swallowing impairments (dysphagia) frequently occur after stroke and have devastating consequences on overall health and quality of life, and long-term deficits in swallow function also increase risk of morbidity (e.g.depression) and mortality (i.e.aspiration pneumonia).As such, rehabilitation of swallow function to improve safety and efficiency of swallowing is essential in this population.This study aims to: 1) Provide preliminary data to evaluate the effect of a novel lingual endurance exercise on swallow…
