[Dysphagia] Mousacca (sp?) manuever

[RN2D@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu (Neubert, Rebecca R)]

I believe there is a description of the Masako in Logemann's swallowing text. As I recall it is a therapeutic/strengthening technique, not a strategy used when actually swallowing a bolus (other than saliva).

	I think they're talking about Masako maneuver, which is when the swallower holds his tongue between his teeth while swallowing.
