[Dysphagia] Swallowing Problems of People WithParkinson's Disease May Improve With Exercise



Hi Everyone

Prof. Christine Sapienza presented at the 2004 Dysphagia Research Society on
Role of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training in Treatment of Dysphagia.  My
understanding is that the device the research team were using trains
suprahyoid muscles (as measured by sEMG) by using the principles of (1)
overload (2) intensity and (3) specificity. When viewed using
videofluroscopy using the training device (ie. blowing ) subjects
demonstrated elevation of hyoid and movement of soft palate.

Regards

Claire
