maneuvers/exercises Flashcards
(14 cards)
What is an important step when closing the second layer of the laryngeal vestibule?
bear down
what are shaker exercises?
Used for reduced PES opening or laryngeal elevation
Lye supine and elevate the head so you can see toes and sustain elevation
Masako Maneuver of Tongue Hold
Used to strengthen tongue pharynx contact
Stick tongue out and hold between lips or teeth while swallowing
what problem would Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) be most beneficial for?
problem is inadequate respiratory driving force
EMST was developed for xx and is a xx
Parkinson’s; experimental pressure device
in terms of swallowing, EMST leads to…
improved cough and hyolaryngeal excursion
What is LSVT?
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
-intended for Parkinson’s
-focuses on loudness
how would LSVT help with swallowing?
reduced oral and pharyngeal transit times
bolus formation
reduced pharyngeal residue
what is the Mendelssohn maneuver?
hold the bolus in the mouth
hold elevated larynx before and during the swallow
why would a head rotation help with residue in the pyriform sinuses?
pulls cricoid cartilage away from posterior pharyngeal wall, reducing resting pressure in the cricopharyngeal sphincter
what happens during a chin tuck?
pushes tongue base back towards the pharyngeal wall
what happens when you put the chin down and rotate the head to the damaged side?
epiglottis is put into more protective positions
narrows the laryngeal entrance
increases vocal fold closure
what is neuromuscular electrical stimulation?
uses surface electrodes (on the skin) to stimulate muscle contraction
what can neuromuscular electrical stimulation be used to treat?
pocketing and laryngeal elevation
