Motor Learning in Dysphagia Rehabilitation

Stopped early · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Dysphagia, Swallowing Disorders, Deglutition Disorders, Stroke

In brief

The overall goal is to exploit motor learning principles and adjuvant techniques in a novel way to enhance dysphagia rehabilitation. The proposed study will investigate the effects of three forms of biofeedback on training and determine whether adjuvant therapeutic techniques such as non-invasive neural stimulation and reward augment training outcomes has an effect of dysphagia rehabilitation. Outcomes from this research study may change the paradigm for treating swallowing and other internal functions such as speech and voice disorders.
