Filter by:A prospective study was conducted on 84 CSVD patients with dysphagia and cognitive impairment. They were divided into the comparison group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given SGB. The swallowing function, cognitive function and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated by Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Mini-mental state examination and modified Barthel index.
This study aims to investigate the correlation between COVID-19 and dysphagia in adults. The population of the study consisted of those who applied to Bezmialem University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dysphagia Outpatient Clinic with the complaint of dysphagia. Patients older than 18 years of age, suffering from dysphagia and not having mental retardation were included in the study. Patients who did not have swallowing difficulties and refused to participate in the study were excluded.
To investigate the impact of physical therapy intervention of dysphagia on preventing pneumonia in acute stroke patients
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of game-based biofeedback application via surface electromyography in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. The same treatment interventions will be applied with and without biofeedback, and thus the contribution of adding biofeedback to the treatment will be determined.
Swallowing; It is a complex, dynamic, sensorimotor process involving more than 30 muscles located bilaterally in the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal regions and involving the safe delivery of the food taken from the mouth to the stomach as a result of sequential and coordinated movements. The cervical region is important in terms of swallowing function, as it acts as a bridge between the oral and esophageal structures through the pharynx, hosts the larynx and upper respiratory tract, which plays an important role in safe swallowing, and contributes to the stabilization and preservation of posture thanks to the muscles in its structure. Craniocervical flexion (CCF) occurs at the atlantooccipital joint and upper cervical segments such as C1-2. While superficial muscles such as the SCM and anterior scalene muscles contract in cervical flexion, deep muscles such as the longus colli and capitis, which are mainly primary cervical stabilizer muscles, are activated in CCF. CCF is a movement felt as flexion in the upper part of the cervical region with a slight retraction of the chin. It is also known that the suprahyoid muscles are activated in CCF. Swallowing in the CCF posture has been shown to occur with less suprahyoid muscle activation. The cervical region must provide proper alignment, posture, and stabilization for effective and safe swallowing. Postural changes in the cervical region, and changes in the position of the hyoid bone cause changes in gravity, oropharyngeal structures, and muscle length-tension relationship, thereby changing the dynamics of swallowing function. Therefore, it is not possible to consider the cervical region separately from the swallowing function. However, the focus of the exercises to be chosen for the cervical region is different and the effects that are likely to occur may also be different. There is no study in the literature on the activation of superficial and deep muscles activated during swallowing of craniocervical flexion training exercises, which aim to improve cervical region mechanics by focusing especially on deep cervical flexors. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of craniocervical flexion training (CCF) on swallowing-related structures in healthy individuals.
Airway protection deficits (cough and swallowing) are prevalent and pervasive in Parkinson's disease (PD), contributing to adverse health outcomes like pneumonia. This study aims to refine cough skill training by examining whether variable versus constant practice conditions improve cough outcomes in people with PD. In addition, this study will provide insight into optimal respiratory adaptations that occur during training to support cough effectiveness, resulting in immediately translatable treatments to improve airway protection-related health outcomes in people with neurodegenerative disease.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic and autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and dysfunction of exocrine glands such as tear and salivary glands. SS is defined as primary SS when it progresses alone without any other rheumatic disease finding, while the definition of secondary SS is used in the presence of another accompanying autoimmune disease. One of the most disturbing symptoms of SS is hyposalivation, xerostomia and dysphagia due to hypofunction of salivary glands. While xerostomia is the patient's subjective perception of dry mouth, hyposalivation is also evaluated objectively by salivary flow rate measurement methods. Studies have reported that 0.9% to 64.8% of patients with SS experience xerostomia and 32% to 72% of them experience dysphagia. It was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine its effect on dysphagia.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and CTAR (Chin Tuck Against Resistance) exercises on swallowing rehabilitation in stroke patients. In addition another aim is to examine the effects of these exercises on the swallowing function, quality of life, functional independence and functional oral intake of individuals, and to investigate the superiority of the exercises to each other in line with these features.
The aim of this research is to determine the effect of specialized dysphagia training on knowledge and competency of nurses.
Food texture modification is commonly used as an intervention for people with dysphagia (swallowing impairment). However, the field currently lacks a proper understanding of how this intervention works. The overall goal of this project was to collect measurements of food bolus transit through the oropharynx (i.e., mouth and throat) during chewing, oral processing and swallowing.
