compensatory technique to combat premature spillage
lengthens oral transit route from anterior to posterior, slowing rate of premature spillage and prolonging transit time
requires pt to manually initiate a swallow
may also change anatomy of pharynx - can be good or bad
pairs well with 2-sec bolus hold

Q

2-second bolus hold

A

compensatory technique used to help with premature spillage
tell pt to hold the bolus in the front of the mouth for 2 seconds before swallowing
pt manually initiates swallow and allows for structures to prep for swallow
commonly paired with chin tuck

26
Q

tongue/finger sweep

A

compensatory technique for pts with reduced sensation/lingual strength or oral pocketing
tell pt to use tongue or finger to clear the food from mouth

27
Q

effortful swallow

A

technique and exercise for pts with weakness and vallecular residue
tell pt to imagine swallowing a golf ball or an egg, and “swallow really hard”
will see more muscle movement
improves base of tongue retraction, tongue propulsion, oral pressure, VF closure, and duration/extend of hyoid movement, causing better PES opening

28
Q

supraglottic swallow

A

technique and exercise for pts with reduced or shortened VF closure or airway invasion
tell pt to take a deep breath, hold it, swallow, cough, and exhale
causes prolonged airway closure, increases anterior laryngeal movement which increases PES opening, and increases BOT retraction

29
Q

super-supraglottic swallow

A

technique and exercise for pts with airway invasion
tell pt to take deep breath, bear down, hold breath, swallow, cough, exhale
prolonged airway closure
increases anterior laryngeal movement, causing better PES opening
bearing down increases ventricular fold closure and assists in closing posterior glottis

30
Q

breath hold/effortful breath hold

A

technique and exercise for preventing airway invasion
tell pt to hold breath really hard while swallowing
closes larynx harder and more efficiently

31
Q

oral care

A

technique and exercise for pts with reduced stimulation
increases stimulation and promotes clearing of oral cavity
increases initiation timing for swallow

32
Q

bolus stimulation

A

technique and exercise for pts with reduced stimulation
carbonation and temp create more stimulation for pts
feeding the pt the same food will create less stimulation

33
Q

thermal-tactile stimulation

A

technique and exercise for pts with no swallow
apply cold laryngeal mirrors to faucial arches to try and stimulate a swallow
can also use pipette droplets of water

34
Q

kinesiotape

A

technique and exercise used for CN V weakness or pts with reduced oral tone
apply strips above and below lips
increases subcutaneous blood flow, facilitates weak muscles, relaxes tense ones

35
Q

straws

A

technique and exercise meant to increase labial seal, tension, and sucking movement
may be used with pts doing chin tuck by holding cup with straw down at chest

36
Q

Mendelsohn maneuver

A

exercise only for pts with reduced laryngeal movement and poor coordination
tell pt to swallow and hold the middle part of the swallow
might also help to tell them to press their tongue to hard palate
dont do without SEMG biofeedback - might look like they’re doing it when they are not

37
Q

oral motor exercises

A

exercise only for pts with muscle weakness
must have specific target
approach must be “load-based,” as in high intensity and frequency
may be therapeutic to strengthen muscles

38
Q

Shaker exercise

A

exercise only for pts with reduced UES opening
flat on a plinth, hold head up and look at toes for 60 sec, rest 60 sec
helps strengthen muscles that move the hyoid anteriorly to pull UES open
if pts cannot do this motorically, do the CTAR

39
Q

chin tuck against resistance (CTAR)

A

exercise only for pts with reduced UES opening
use device to push chin against, like towel or partially deflated ball
less strenuous than Shaker, greater submental activity
can also use a neck-slimmer
ISO swallowing device - open jaw against it

40
Q

tongue hold/Masako maneuver

A

exercise only for pts with limited pharyngeal clearance and reduced BOT retraction
stick out tongue, bite down gently, swallow
10 reps 10x/day
provides resistance by making tongue pull back harder to swallow
give assistance to pts by holding tongue for them with gauze

41
Q

Isometric Progressive Resistive Oropharyngeal Therapy (I-PRO)

A

exercise program only for lingual weakness
“Swallow Strong” device
can also use tongue depressors

42
Q

Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI)

A

exercise program only for reduced lingual strength
comes with feedback meter to attach to laptop
put bulb in pts mouth and have them complete oral strengthening exercises

43
Q

Madison Oral Strengthening Therapeutic (MOST)

A

exercise only for reduced lingual strength
same thing as I-PRO, different bulb

44
Q

McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program (MDTP)

A

exercise program for pts with poor coordination
swallowed materials are introduced sequentially to facilitate progressive resistance or speed and coordination of swallowing
SLPs must be trained and follow specific rules to advance pts

45
Q

Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT)

A

exercises only for pts with dysphagia cased by weakened respiratory muscles
handheld trainer device providing resistance against inspiration/expiration
EMT: targets abdominal and upper airway muscles
improves cough for airway protection, improved afferent stimulation, velar closure, increased hyoid elevation, increased activation of submental muscles

46
Q

Jaw Opening Against Resistance (JOAR)

A

exercises for pts with reduced hyoid/UES opening
increases hyoid excursion which improves UES opening
hold jaw open for 10sec, rest 10sec, x5 for 2x/day for 4 weeks
can do with or without resistance
can also use a neck slimmer

47
Q

Intensive Dysphagia Rehabilitation (IDR)

A

exercise program for pts with severe neurogenic dysphagia
pt seen 2x/week for 60 mins with daily home program

48
Q

electrical stimulation (Estim)

A

still being experimented
applies electrical current to cause sensory and motor nerves to activate
surface Estim has been debunked
intrinsic Estim is still being researched

49
Q

biofeedback tools

A

FEES: biofeedback during therpapy, po trials, strategies, techniques
sEMG: sticker electrodes stuck the pt connected to a screen; measures muscle strength and amplitude of movement
very helpful for cognitively intact pt to see objective feedback –> motivates pt

50
Q

pt culture features

A

time concept, social organization, communication patterns, generation, spirituality, health practices, food preferences

51
Q

informed consent

A

decision-making process between a pt and healthcare provider aimed at making an educated and informed medical/healthcare decision
SLPs do not have waivers for dysphagia in acute care, just informed consent

52
Q

components of informed consent

A

providing clear and adequate information
capacity to consent
voluntariness
agreement

53
Q

palliative care

A

focused on comfort, pain management, decision making, and QOL - but does not need to be for terminal illness

54
Q

hospice care

A

palliative measures but requirement of 6mo or fewer to live relating to a terminal illness

55
Q

presbyphagia

A

age-related swallowing disorder

56
Q

sarcopenia

A

loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and speed of movement
contributes to presbyphagia

57
Q

4 stages of swallowing

A

oral prep
oral transit
pharyngeal
esophageal

58
Q

oral prep

A

from food approaching mouth to preparation of transit
hands as visual cues for sensory recognition
labial seal, facial tension, spoon stripping, tongue cupping of liquids, mastication
lingual pull of bolus centrally onto tongue for prep for transit

59
Q

oral transit

A

beginning of bolus transit to bolus head passing anterior faucial arches
stripping of bolus between tongue and palate
takes about 1-1.5 seconds

60
Q

pharyngeal stage

A

leading edge of bolus passing anterior faucial arches to passing through UES
rim of mandible crosses BOT
elevation and closure of velum
elevation and excursion of hyoid and larynx
3 levels of laryngeal closure
swallowing apnea
opening/relaxing of UES sphincter
ramping of BOT, retraction, contact with PPW
top to bottom contraction of pharyngeal constrictors

61
Q

3 levels of laryngeal closure during pharyngeal stage

A

TVF close
laryngeal vestibule closes - 3 levels: FVF close, arytenoids tilt anteriorly, thickening of epiglottis base
epiglottis deflects/inverts

62
Q

esophageal stage

A

bolus tail passing through UES
bolus travels until it passes gastroesophageal juncture
primary and secondary peristaltic waves squeeze bolus down
