A new pt was just admitted to our rehab facility...........I don't have any
of his swallowing info yet, but he has multiple medical problems including a
recent pneumonitis with subsequent PEG placement; he is cognitively intact.
My question is regarding the frequency of treatment. In the hospital the slp
was seeing him twice/day for laryngeal/pharyngeal exercises and then
recommending that he practice independently 4x/day...........it made me wonder, do we
have any data on frequency of exercise and effectiveness??? Is more always
better?
