The exercises may help you increase the strength and mobility of the muscles of your larynx (voice box) over time. This may help the ability to swallow. When implementing clinical exercises targeting neuromuscular adaptation it is important for the clinician to choose those tasks which employ principles of strength training and motor learning, including resistance (overload), repetition, and specificity.5, A widely known exercise is the Mendelsohn maneuver (MM), which requires the patient to volitionally maintain contraction of the submandibular and other muscles during the pharyngeal stage of swallowing, with the aim of holding the larynx as high as possible for as long as possible.2,6 Even though the MM can be applied as a direct (with food) or indirect (without food) exercise, in both contexts it adheres to the principle of specificity as the exercise is conducted during the act of swallowing. Newer exercises such as CtC and CTAR show promise but are in need of further research in clinical populations before they can be considered evidence-based strategies for clinical application. Yoon and colleagues recently published a study which also incorporated resistance against contraction, referred to as the Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR).16 These authors used a rubber ball placed between the chin and sternum as the resistive load. 1.

Maxbauer MSHA 2017 cbrindo@mbsenvision.com Martin-Harris et al, 2008 It is important to promote laryngeal elevation, necessary for swallowing, in patients with dysphagia in order to strengthen the muscle groups elevating the larynx, including the suprahyoid muscles.1,2 The Shaker exercise,3 a type of head-lift exercise, is the most commonly used method to strengthen the suprahyoid and tongue muscles. During the pharyngeal stage of swallowing contraction of the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, thyrohyoid and anterior digastric muscles (laryngeal elevators) facilitates hyolaryngeal excursion and assists upper esophageal sphincter (UES) dilation.13 When decreased hyolaryngeal excursion results in dysphagia, clinicians might choose to increase function in laryngeal elevators by incorporating rehabilitative exercises that promote neuromuscular adaptation. Submental sEMG and hyoid movement during Mendelsohn maneuver, effortful swallow, and expiratory muscle strength training. However, the clinical evidence of the effect is still lacking. Our lab recently published a study which investigated the effect of a resistance-based exercise requiring an individual to open their jaw while pressing their chin into a semi-rigid brace fixed against their chest.15 We coined this exercise Chin-to-Chest (CtC) to reflect the trajectory of movement.

Data from sEMG revealed significantly greater activation of the laryngeal elevators during CTAR compared to the head-lift exercise. Although there are divergent opinions and equivocal evidence for the effect of transcutaneous neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) on laryngeal muscle activity, enough evidence exists (at least in this authors opinion) to support the clinical theory that NMES applied transcutaneously to the submandibular muscles can facilitate contraction of the laryngeal elevators and influence hyolaryngeal excursion.

Although there are divergent opinions and equivocal evidence for the effect of transcutaneous neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) on laryngeal muscle activity, enough evidence exists (at least in this authors opinion) to support the clinical theory that NMES applied transcutaneously to the submandibular muscles can facilitate contraction of the laryngeal elevators and influence hyolaryngeal excursion. Transtracheal stimulation is an effective tool for minimally invasive application of FES to induce vocal fold adduction, providing an alternative mechanism to study airway protection.

Allow the teeth to separate and the jaw to. Findings indicate that electrical stimulation of the agonists for hyoid movement might not alter swallowing outcomes tested in this study, and submental SES could have clinical utility by minimizing swallowing impairments related to reduced hyoid swallowing range of motion in individuals with dysphagia. Effortful swallowing training coupled with electrical stimulation leads to an increase in hyoid elevation during swallowing. Pharyngeal Conditioning Swallow Exercises 1. Head Turn Turn your head slowly from shoulder to shoulder, turning as far as possible without causing pain. Do _______ repetitions, _______ times a day. 2. Mendelsohn Maneuver Swallow your saliva, but stop mid swallow. Keep your Adams apple in the high position for 1-2 seconds. Laryngeal elevation The patient uses laryngeal elevation exercises to lift and maintain the larynx in an elevated position. This is similar to the Mendelsohn maneuver (described in the Maneuvers section above). The patient is asked to slide up a pitch scale and hold a high note for several seconds.
