Synchronized electrical stimulation in treating pharyngeal dysphagia.
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS The objectives were to test the hypothesis that synchronous contraction of the thyrohyoid muscle by electrical stimulation during swallowing would improve dysphagia resulting from reduced laryngeal elevation and to evaluate the effectiveness of the synchronous electrical stimulator. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Eleven male and 12 female patients (age range, 3...
متن کاملPharyngeal Electrical Stimulation for Treatment of Dysphagia in Subacute Stroke
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dysphagia is common after stroke, associated with increased death and dependency, and treatment options are limited. Pharyngeal electric stimulation (PES) is a novel treatment for poststroke dysphagia that has shown promise in 3 pilot randomized controlled trials. METHODS We randomly assigned 162 patients with a recent ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and dysphagia, defin...
متن کاملPharyngeal electrical stimulation device for the treatment of neurogenic dysphagia: technology update
Neurogenic dysphagia (ND) can occur in patients with nervous system diseases of varying etiologies. Moreover, recovery from ND is not guaranteed. The therapeutic approaches for oropharyngeal ND have drastically changed over the last decade, mainly due to a better knowledge of the neurophysiology of swallowing along with the progress of neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies. For this reaso...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation-based cycling assisted by flywheel and electrical clutch mechanism: A feasibility simulation study
A new assist mechanism, represented by a flywheel and an electrical clutch, is developed and evaluated, in simulation studies, to assist paralysed legs during functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based cycling exercise in a closed-loop control configuration. The flywheel is engaged and disengaged, by the clutch, to assist or retard the cycling when necessary. The flywheel engages with the cr...
متن کاملElectrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Dysphagia
Dysphagia is the term used to describe swallowing disorders usually resulting from a neurological or physical impairment of the oral, pharyngeal or oesophageal mechanisms. Difficulty with swallowing may have life threatening consequences and can lead to an impaired quality of life. Electrical stimulation has recently become of interest to clinicians working with people presenting with dysphagia...
