Q

Who is Myofascial Release beneficial for?

A

Individuals with fibrosis

17
Q

How does Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) help with swallowing?

(4)

A

Improved respiratory pressure

Improved strength of cough

Improved sub-mental activity (muscles under the chin)

Better airway protection

18
Q

How does LSVT improve swallowing?

3

A

Increases sub-glottal pressure.

Improve VF and laryngeal vestibule closure

May improve pharyngeal transit too.

19
Q

What is the Free-Water Protocol?

3

A

Water continues to be allowed

No water is given during meals or for 30 minutes after eating (thickened liquids used during meals)

No medications given with water

20
Q

What is the idea behind the Free-Water Protocol?

2

A

Aspirating water is a benign event

Good hydration is important for oral care and quality of life
