Oh JC. Effect of Visual Biofeedback Obtained Using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument on the Suprahyoid Muscle Activation Level During Effortful Swallowing Maneuver. Dysphagia 2024; 39:433-443. [PMID: 37936019 DOI: 10.1007/s00455-023-10627-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
Effortful swallowing (ES) is a maneuver prescribed for patients who experience pharyngeal residues after swallowing owing to weakness of the tongue and pharyngeal constrictor muscles. ES can increase the pharyngeal contraction force by intentionally increasing the degree of effort during swallowing. However, the effect is limited as the nature of swallowing makes it difficult to maintain a constant high-effort level. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of visual feedback, delivered by the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), a tongue pressure measurement device on ES maneuver effort. Overall, 34 healthy adults performed five sets of ten ES, once every 10 s. The ES maneuver was conducted under two conditions, ES with and without IOPI biofeedback in a crossover design. IOPI biofeedback was provided at 80% of the maximum posterior oral tongue pressure. The suprahyoid muscle activation level was assessed using surface electromyography during the ES maneuver. The mean suprahyoid muscle activation levels in all sets for which IOPI biofeedback was provided were significantly higher than those during ES maneuver without biofeedback (p < 0.05). IOPI biofeedback can help maintain the ES maneuver target effort, utilizing a constantly high swallowing pressure potentially promoting better pharyngeal pressures and muscle strength.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to design a new maneuver called the Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver (MOSM), and to compare swallowing kinematics and submental muscles activation (SMA) between MOSM and two current approaches used in dysphagia rehabilitation. Fifty healthy volunteers were asked to perform three repetitions of dry swallowing (DS) (control task), the MOSM, the Mendelsohn Maneuver (MM), and the Tongue-Hold Maneuver (THM) during videofluoroscopic swallowing study accompanied with simultaneous SMA recording. Swallowing kinematics were measured by frame-by-frame analysis on hyolaryngeal movement using ImageJ. Swallowing with maximum hyolaryngeal movement and SMA during these tasks was used for comparative analysis. Vertical movement of the hyoid during the MOSM was significantly greater than those observed during the DS and the THM (p<0.001, p<0.001). Horizontal movement of the hyoid during DS and the THM was significantly greater than that observed during the MM (p = 0.001, p = 0.001). Vertical movement of the larynx during the MOSM was significantly greater than those observed during DS, MM, and THM (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between tasks in horizontal movement of the larynx (p = 0.785). SMA during the THM was significantly greater than that observed during MOSM (p = 0.002). No significant difference was found between other tasks in terms of SMA (p>0.05). The MOSM as a newly designed maneuver was significantly superior to other maneuvers in increasing vertical hyolaryngeal movement. The THM has as much effect on hyolaryngeal movement as the MM. In this study, the MOSM was shown to be effective in increasing hyolaryngeal movement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, swallowing resistive exercise using kinesiology taping (KT) has been reported as a novel method for dysphagia rehabilitation However, clinical evidence is still unclear, and effects in the elderly have not been confirmed. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of suprahyoid muscle strengthening exercise using KT on muscle activation and thickness in community-dwelling elderly. METHODS A total of 24 healthy older people were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a placebo group. In the experimental group, KT was attached to the front of the neck with a tension of about 70% to 80%, and a resistive swallowing exercise was performed. In the placebo group, the tape was applied similarly but without tension. Both groups performed resistive swallowing exercises 10 times a day (50 swallows per day) for 6 weeks. The activation and thickness of the suprahyoid muscles were measured using portable ultrasound equipment and an surface electromyelograph device. RESULTS The experimental group showed a significant increase in suprahyoid muscle activation (mean and peak) and muscle thickness (digastric and mylohyoid) than the placebo group (all, P < .05). CONCLUSION This study confirmed that suprahyoid muscle strengthening exercise using KT had a positive effect on the suprahyoid muscles in healthy older adults, thus suggesting the possibility of a therapeutic exercise method for dysphagia rehabilitation.

Abstract
Background Chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) exercise was introduced to substitute for the commonly used Shaker exercise for dysphagia rehabilitation. The effects of CTAR exercise in stroke survivors needs to be validated. Objective To investigate the effects of Chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) exercise on the swallowing function and psychological condition in stroke survivors compared to no exercise intervention and the Shaker exercise. Materials and methods The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL and four Chinese databases were searched for randomized controlled trails (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs from inception to February 2022. Results After screened and assessed the methodological quality of the studies, nine studies with 548 stroke survivors were included in the systematic review. 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 software. The mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The results revealed that CTAR exercise is effective in improving swallowing safety (MD, -1.43; 95% CI, -1.81 to -1.06; P < 0.0001) and oral intake ability (SMD, -1.82; 95% CI, -3.28 to -0.35; P = 0.01) compared with no exercise intervention, CTAR exercise is superior to Shaker exercise in improving swallowing safety (MD, -0.49; 95% CI, -0.83 to -0.16; P = 0.004). The psychological condition in CTAR group is significant better than the control group (MD, -5.72; 95% CI, -7.39 to -4.05; P < 0.00001) and Shaker group (MD, -2.20; 95% CI, -3.77 to -0.64; P = 0.006). Conclusions Our findings support CTAR exercise as a superior therapeutic exercise for post-stroke dysphagia rehabilitation than Shaker exercise. More high-qualities RCTs from larger multicenter are needed to analysis the effects of CTAR exercise in patients with different type and phase of stroke and explore the optimal training dose.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of craniocervical flexion (CCF) on the activation of suprahyoid and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles in Shaker and Resistant Jaw Opening (RJO) exercises, and to compare the effects of these two exercises on the same muscles with the Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) exercise. The study recruited a total of 37 healthy participants (20 female and 17 male, mean age: 27.45 ± 7.32 years). All participants received craniocervical flexion training with the biofeedback pressure unit (Stabilizer™, Chattanooga Group Inc. USA). Shaker, Shaker with CCF, RJO, RJO with CCF and CTAR exercises were performed and surface electromyographic (sEMG) activations of the suprahyoid and SCM muscles were recorded. In addition, the maximum sEMG activations of suprahyoid and SCM muscles were recorded for the normalization procedure. CCF increased the effect of Shaker exercise on the suprahyoid muscle activation (p < 0.001); but this effect was not seen in RJO exercise (p > 0.05). Suprahyoid muscle activation was lower in Shaker exercise compared to RJO and CTAR exercises (p < 0.016). SCM muscle activation was greater in CTAR exercise compared to Shaker and RJO exercises (p < 0.016). The addition of CCF to the Shaker and RJOE exercises did not affect the ranking among the three exercises for both the suprahyoid and SCM muscles. The result of this study suggest that integration of CCF movement to the Shaker exercise would have a greater therapeutic effect. In addition, RJO exercise can be included in the rehabilitation program as an alternate to CTAR exercise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Capsaicin is a specific agonist of TRPV1 (multimodal sensory receptor), which improves oropharyngeal dysphagia by increasing sensory input from the oropharynx and hypopharynx and by increasing repetitive stimulation of the cerebral cortex. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of capsaicin on swallowing disorders in stroke patients and the elderly. METHOD We searched Medline, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases. We used the Mesh terms search database to screen all clinical trials that complied with the inclusion criteria. Studies were subjected to literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction to remove studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria. After literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the included study were performed. RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis were prospectively registered on PROSPERO under registration number CRD42022313958. Five high-quality randomized controlled trials were ultimately included. The results of our meta-analysis showed a more significant reduction in swallowing function score change in the capsaicin group compared to the control group [SMD = -1.30, 95% CI: (-2.35, -0.25), P = 0.01] and on the Water swallowing test the improvement was significantly higher in the capsaicin group [RR = 2.46, 95% CI: (1.73, 3.50), P < 0.0001]. CONCLUSIONS Although the results of our meta-analysis showed that capsaicin improved swallowing function, most studies had an unclear bias and included few studies. More studies are needed to support this in the future. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=304061, identifier: 304061.

Abstract
Sarcopenic dysphagia requires the presence of both dysphagia and generalized sarcopenia. The causes of dysphagia, except for sarcopenia, are excluded. The treatment for sarcopenic dysphagia includes resistance training along with nutritional support; however, whether rehabilitation procedures are useful remains unclear. In this narrative review, we present possible rehabilitation procedures as a resistance training for managing sarcopenic dysphagia, including Shaker exercise, Mendelsohn maneuver, tongue-hold swallow exercise, jaw-opening exercise, swallow resistance exercise, lingual exercise, expiratory muscle strength training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. We hope that some procedures mentioned in this article or new methods will be effective to treat sarcopenic dysphagia.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of neck stabilization exercise on respiratory function in stroke patients through longitudinal observation and determine whether there is a difference in its effect based on the side of paralysis in the patients. It is difficult to observe the amount of change observed in individuals and groups as most intergroup comparison studies only use mean values. To address these shortcomings, this study adopted a hierarchical linear model (HLM) in our trajectory analysis. Materials and Methods: We conducted neck stabilization training three times a week for four weeks in a single group of 21 stroke patients. To evaluate respiratory function, their forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced expiration ratio (FEV1/FVC), and peak cough flow (PCF) were measured. Data analysis was performed using HLM 8.0. Results: A significant increase was found in the respiratory function after neck stabilization training (p < 0.05). While neck stabilization training overall was longitudinally effective, the growth rate of respiratory function in left-sided paralytic patients was less than the whole group value. Conversely, the growth rate of respiratory function in right-sided paralytic patients was greater than the whole group value. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that neck stabilization training is longitudinally effective in improving respiratory function in stroke patients. Additionally, the growth rate of respiratory function was greater in patients with right side paralysis than in patients with left side paralysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of laryngeal elevation training without highly loaded head lifting on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. METHODS Fifty-seven patients with dysphagia (36 men; mean age, 78.5 ± 11.4 years) were included. All participants performed the swallowing forehead exercise and the chin push-pull manoeuvre for two months. Videoendoscopy to assess swallowing function, the peak expiratory flow test and the hand grip strength test were performed at the initial visit (time 1) and two months after the start of the intervention (time 2). We used the Hyodo score, a scoring method for videoendoscopic assessment, for evaluation of swallowing function. RESULTS The linear mixed model showed a significant main effect of time (the Hyodo score at time 1 was greater than the score at time 2). The effects of the co-variates were not significant. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated the significant effect of laryngeal elevation training without head lifting on the Hyodo score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) exercise has been recently reported to be a new therapeutic exercise method that can help improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. However, due to the differences in exercise protocols, methods and the tools used across studies of CTAR exercise, an overall systematic review of these studies is necessary. OBJECTIVE The present study investigated the exercise protocols, methods and tools used in various studies of CTAR exercise and summarised their findings. METHODS We searched for studies related to CTAR exercise using electronic databases and selected nine articles for review. The articles were categorised on the basis of four criteria: study design and quality, training protocol, outcome measures and clinical effect. RESULTS Four articles reported that CTAR exercise not only helped activate the suprahyoid muscle in healthy adults, but also activated the sternocleidomastoid muscle less than Shaker exercise. In addition, five articles reported that CTAR exercise was effective in improving swallowing function and oral diet stage in the pharyngeal phase, including reduction of airway aspiration in patients with dysphagia after stroke. CONCLUSIONS CTAR exercise more selectively activates the suprahyoid muscle and is an effective therapeutic exercise for improving swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. Because it is less strenuous than Shaker exercise, it requires less physical burden and effort, allowing greater compliance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo surgery and adjuvant radiation treatment for head and neck cancer often develop dysphagia as a result of this treatment. Improvements in swallow function may be achieved with exercise. The goal of this pilot study was to compare the effectiveness and perceived difficulty of using the head lift exercise and the recline exercise to activate the suprahyoid musculature in 8 individuals with a history of head and neck cancer. METHOD Muscle activation using surface electromyography was examined to determine if the recline exercise activates the suprahyoid muscle groups to the same degree as the head lift exercise. Participants also rated the exertion they experienced to assess how easily patients are able to complete the exercises. RESULTS The majority of participants completed both exercises in their entirety on their first attempt. However, ratings of perceived exertion were significantly lower for the recline exercise than the head lift exercise. The head lift exercise activated the suprahyoid musculature to a significantly greater degree than the recline exercise. CONCLUSION The recline exercise, in comparison with the head lift exercise, is easier for participants to complete and results in significantly reduced perceptions of fatigue. Results of this study indicate that the recline exercise may be a good potential substitute for the head lift exercise in patient populations that are incapable of performing the head lift exercise, but that the head lift exercise should be prescribed whenever it is viable as it activates target musculature more effectively than the recline exercise.

Abstract
Prior research in swallowing physiology has suggested that using submental transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) with short pulse duration (PD) (300 μs) may enhance the impact on deep extrinsic tongue muscles, thereby pulling the tongue down during swallowing. However, it was unclear whether that same TES protocol could have a differential impact on hyolaryngeal kinematics and timing. This study aimed to compare the effect of submental TES with varying PDs on anterior and superior hyolaryngeal kinematics and timing both at rest and during swallowing in healthy adults. Twenty-four healthy adults between the ages of 22 and 77 participated in this study. Anterior and superior hyolaryngeal excursion magnitude and duration measures were collected using videofluoroscopic swallowing study. Each subject swallowed three 10 ml pudding trials under three conditions: no TES, TES with short PD (300 μs), and TES with long PD (700 μs). TES was delivered using two-channel surface electrodes in the submental area. In both short and long PD conditions, TES amplitude was gradually increased until participants reached their maximum tolerance level. Videofluoroscopic data were analyzed using VideoPad Video Editor and Image J programs. One-way repeated measure ANOVAs were conducted to identify within-subject effect of TES condition. For hyoid movement, TES with short PD selectively placed the hyoid bone on a more anterior position at rest and reduced anterior hyoid excursion during swallowing compared with the no TES condition. Regarding laryngeal movement, both TES protocols resulted in the larynx taking on a more anterior position at rest and reduced anterior laryngeal excursions during swallowing when compared with the no TES condition. Varying PDs had no significant effect on the superior hyoid and laryngeal movements at rest and during swallowing. Both TES protocols induced shorter hyoid elevation duration during swallowing Findings suggest that though both TES protocols demonstrated a comparable impact on reducing anterior laryngeal excursions, the TES protocol with short PD had an enhanced effect on reducing anterior hyoid excursion during swallowing. This reduced range of motion may result from stimulating the deep submental muscles, which primarily place the hyoid and larynx into a more forward position before swallowing onset. Overall, the TES protocol with short PD may have an increased benefit in facilitating swallowing in patients with dysphagia.

Abstract
Fatigue is widely accepted as a clinically relevant factor in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of dysphagia. Despite the relative importance that is placed on swallowing-related fatigue, the occurrence and effects of fatigue during swallowing is unclear. The goal of this study was to explore effects of eating a meal on measures of tongue strength, endurance, and other parameters of swallowing function under normal conditions compared to when the tongue is intentionally fatigued. Thirty healthy females, 15 "Young" (18-35 years old), and 15 "Old" (70 + years old) were seen for two data collection sessions one week apart. On both days, pre-meal measures were collected, then participants consumed a standardized meal based on a previously published protocol (half a bagel with peanut butter and 8 baby carrots) followed by post-meal measures. An additional pre-meal fatigue task was included on one of the test days (counterbalanced), involving maximal tongue presses until participants could not achieve 40% of baseline maximum pressure. Pre- and post-meal measures included anterior and posterior maximum tongue pressures, saliva swallow pressure, tongue endurance, surface electromyography (sEMG), the modified Borg scale, and the Test of Mastication and Swallowing of Solids (TOMASS). Linear mixed effects regressions compared pre- and post-meal outcome measures (1) on the non-fatigue day and (2) between fatigue and non-fatigue days while controlling for participant and age. The fatigue task caused significant reductions in maximum anterior and posterior tongue pressure. After a normal meal (i.e., without fatigue), we found decreased anterior pressures in the older group only. Older participants also had decreased saliva swallow pressures after the meal compared to pre-meal, while this measure increased post-mean in the young participants. When compared to the non-fatigue meal, eating a meal after tongue fatigue resulted in significantly lower post-meal posterior pressures, regardless of age group. The same pattern was observed with posterior functional reserve. Our results demonstrate that a systematic, participant-specific tongue fatigue task induced measurable changes in maximum tongue pressure. A meal by itself was observed to reduce anterior tongue strength and saliva swallow pressures only in older participants. Overall, it appears that older adults may be more vulnerable to fatigue-induced changes in tongue strength, though the relationship between these measures and changes to functional swallowing remains unknown.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The resistive jaw opening exercise (RJOE) was suggested as a potential remedial treatment for patients with dysphagia. However, clinical evidence is insufficient. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of RJOE on hyoid bone movement, aspiration, and oral intake level in stroke patients with dysphagia. METHODS Forty stroke patients with dysphagia were randomly allocated into either the experimental group (n= 20) or placebo group (n= 20). The experimental group performed RJOE using a portable device, while the placebo group performed RJOE using a sham device with fewer loads. Intervention was conducted 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Hyoid bone movement was analyzed by two-dimensional analysis of anterior and superior motion based on a videofluoroscopic swallowing study. Aspiration was assessed using a penetration-aspiration scale (PAS), and oral intake level was assessed using the functional oral intake scale (FOIS). RESULTS Both groups showed statistically significant differences in hyoid movement, PAS, and FOIS scale (p< 0.05). However, after the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups except for the liquid type of PAS. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) were 0.9 and 0.7, 0.6 and 0.6, and 1.1 for the anterior and superior movement of the hyoid bone, semisolid and liquid type of PAS, and FOIS scale respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that RJOE helps in hyoid movement, aspiration reduction, and oral intake in patients with dysphagia after stroke.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the jaw opening exercise (JOE) on the thickness of the suprahyoid muscle and hyoid bone movement compared with the head lift exercise (HLE) in patients with dysphagia after strokeThis study recruited 30 patients with dysphagia after stroke. The JOE group performed a JOE using a resistance bar. The HLE group performed the traditional HLE. The total intervention duration was 6 weeks. We measured the thickness of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles using ultrasound. Two-dimensional motion analysis of the hyoid bone was performed using Image J software. The Borg rating of the perceived exertion scale was used to assess the intensity level of physical activity during the 2 exercises.Both groups showed a significant increase in the thickness of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles (P < .05). Hyoid bone motion was significantly increased in the anterior and superior movement in both groups (P < .05). After the intervention, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. The Borg rating of perceived exertion scale for the JOE group was significantly lower than that of the HLE group (P < .05).In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the JOE and the HLE had similar effects with respect to increasing suprahyoid muscle thickness and improving hyoid bone movement. However, the JOE required less perceived exertion than the HLE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Head lift exercise is a widely known form of training in the rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia. This study aimed to compare muscular strength reinforcement training of the suprahyoid muscles using repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) with head lift exercises in a randomized controlled trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four healthy adults were randomly assigned to either the magnetic stimulation group (M group) or the head lift exercise group (H group). Both groups underwent training five days a week for two weeks. The primary outcome was the cervical flexor strength, and secondary outcomes were jaw-opening force, tongue pressure, muscle fatigue of the hyoid and laryngeal muscles, displacement of the hyoid bone and opening width of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) while swallowing 10 mL of liquid, training performance rate, and pain. RESULTS No dropouts were reported during the two-week intervention period. Cervical flexor strength significantly increased solely in the M group. Tongue pressure significantly improved in both groups. There were no significant differences in the jaw-opening force, median frequency rate of the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, sternohyoid muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, anterior and superior hyoid bone displacement, and UES opening width in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Two-week rPMS of the suprahyoid muscles increased the strength of these muscles compared with the head lift exercise during the same period.

Abstract
The head lift exercise (HLE) is the most common exercise for strengthening the swallowing musculature in clinical situations. This study investigated whether a change in the backrest angle of a bed influences swallowing musculature activity and physical strain during the HLE and whether it can generate an appropriate exercise load for swallowing musculature activity for older women compared with younger women. Participants were 10 elderly women and 10 young women, each of whom performed the HLE with a backrest randomly angled at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°. The activity of the suprahyoid, infrahyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles was assessed with electromyography. The perception of fatigue was measured with the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. The activity of the infrahyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles in elderly women was significantly lower when the angle of the backrest was raised to 45° vs 0°. In both groups, the Borg rating decreased significantly at the 30° and 45° backrest positions vs the 0° and 15° positions. The activity required for the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles in elderly women at a 30° backrest position was almost equal to the activity required by these muscles in young women at a 0° backrest position. In elderly women, it is possible that the HLE with the backrest at a 30° angle may be easier and provide a more appropriate exercise load for strengthening the swallowing muscles.

Evaluating the Training Effects of Two Swallowing Rehabilitation Therapies Using Surface Electromyography--Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) Exercise and the Shaker Exercise.

Abstract
In this study, the efficacy of two dysphagia interventions, the Chin Tuck against Resistance (CTAR) and Shaker exercises, were evaluated based on two principles in exercise science-muscle-specificity and training intensity. Both exercises were developed to strengthen the suprahyoid muscles, whose contractions facilitate the opening of the upper esophageal sphincter, thereby improving bolus transfer. Thirty-nine healthy adults performed two trials of both exercises in counter-balanced order. Surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings were simultaneously collected from suprahyoid muscle group and sternocleidomastoid muscle during the exercises. Converging results using sEMG amplitude analyses suggested that the CTAR was more specific in targeting the suprahyoid muscles than the Shaker exercise. Fatigue analyses on sEMG signals further indicated that the suprahyoid muscle group were equally or significantly fatigued (depending on metric), when participants carried out CTAR compared to the Shaker exercise. Importantly, unlike during Shaker exercise, the sternocleidomastoid muscles were significantly less activated and fatigued during CTAR. Lowering the chin against resistance is therefore sufficiently specific and intense to fatigue the suprahyoid muscles.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to examine the comparative effectiveness of the new Recline Exercise (RE) and the traditional Head Lift Exercise (Shaker Exercise) on submental muscle activity, tongue strength, and perceived exertion in 40 healthy young adults (mean age = 24.5 years, SD 2.6 years). Both groups participated in a 6-week exercise regimen. Outcome variables evaluated pre- and post-exercise included: duration and peak amplitude of submental muscle activity during swallowing measured via surface electromyography (sEMG); anterior and posterior isometric lingual pressures measured with the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument; and perceived exertion levels measured with the Borg category-ratio scale of perceived exertion. Results indicated no significant pre-post differences within or between groups in swallow duration and peak amplitude. In addition, the RE group demonstrated significant post-treatment increases in anterior and posterior tongue strength [p = 0.009; p < 0.001]; however, these increases were of small magnitude (d = 0.132; d = 0.319). Both groups showed marked improvements in perceived exertion levels [p < 0.001]. Our findings indicate that healthy young adults who perform the RE or the HLE do not have significant swallow duration or amplitude gains, most likely due to the reduced need for such gains in the healthy head/neck musculature for submaximal tasks. Furthermore, the significant lingual strength gains seen with the RE indicate that additional musculature is being engaged during its completion. These results are encouraging; however, future research in older adults and patients with dysphagia with examination of swallowing biomechanics is needed to determine its full potential as a rehabilitative regimen.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review recent literature depicting a shift in dysphagia rehabilitation in adults. Distinguishing rehabilitation from compensation in dysphagia management, a review of basic exercise principles is followed by description of recent publications depicting exercise-based therapies. Subsequently, transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is reviewed as it may contribute to exercise-based dysphagia rehabilitation in adults. RECENT FINDINGS Surveys have documented extensive variability in the clinical application of dysphagia therapy techniques. Despite this variability, two trends are emerging in dysphagia rehabilitation research: documentation of physiologic and functional changes within the swallowing mechanism subsequent to therapy; and prophylactic exercise-based therapies. In addition, extensive efforts have emerged describing the potential application of TES in dysphagia rehabilitation. Though results of these efforts are conflicted, TES may serve a useful role as an adjunct to well developed exercise-based rehabilitation for dysphagia. SUMMARY The focus of dysphagia rehabilitation in adults is changing. Current efforts indicate that exercise-based therapies should incorporate multiple principles of exercise physiology and document physiologic change within the impaired swallowing mechanism. TES may function as an adjunctive modality; however, current practices should be evaluated to develop additional parameters of stimulation that are focused toward specific dysphagia impairments.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of nonsurgical and nonpharmacologic treatments for oropharyngeal dysphagia. The speech-language pathologist (SLP) is the primary member of the swallowing management team who will provide this type of dysphagia management. The primary focus of the SLP for dysphagia management is first to eliminate or reduce aspiration risk, as well as to improve or restore swallowing function. Ultimately, the management plan will depend on the physiologic underpinnings of the disorder and patient variables such as cognition, motivation, and ability to attend therapy sessions or participate in therapy.

Abstract
Age-related sarcopenia or muscle wasting contributes to changes in the ability to perform activities of daily living, changes in deglutition, and changes in vocal function. The Shaker Exercise, an isometric and isokinetic exercise, has been shown to strengthen suprahyoid muscles and increase deglutitive anteroposterior (AP) upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening diameter. The aim of this study was to determine if this exercise has an effect on the age-related changes in vocal function and deglutition in healthy older adults. Eleven females and 10 males, aged 65-78 years (mean = 70 +/- 4 years) and with a negative history for dysphagia and voice disorders, participated by exercising three times per day for 6 weeks. Five age-matched controls did not perform the exercise. Acoustic analysis of voice and biomechanical analysis of deglutition were performed before and after 6 weeks of exercise. Controls participated in voice analysis only. Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI), a multivariate voice index, was used to compare voice production initially and after 6 weeks. Deglutitive biomechanical measures increased and DSI scores improved in 10 of 21 participants following 6 weeks of the exercise. DSI for controls did not change over the 6-week period. Ten of 21 exercise participants experienced improved deglutitive biomechanics and DSI scores. Accuracy of exercise performance, compliance, and/or disclosed alterations in health status may contribute to the lack of deglutitive and DSI change in the participants who did not experience change in function. A large randomized control study, including periodic monitoring of health status, exercise performance accuracy, and compliance, is warranted to evaluate the affect of this exercise on deglutition as well as voice. The Shaker Exercise could be recommended as a preventative measure to diminish the effect of sarcopenia on the muscles used in deglutition and voice and alter the progression of the characteristic senescent voice and swallow changes.
