General considerations
This acronym addresses features of goals
What is SMART?
This exercise principle is defined as exercise at sufficient intensity, time, and frequency to create muscle change
What is overload?
This compensatory posture is intended to close off the weak side of the pharynx
What is the head turn or rotation?
The goal of rehabilitation is to make these type of effects
What is long-term?
This adjunctive modality involves the use of surface electrodes to provide visual feedback during treatment
What is surface electromyography or sEMG?
the integration of research evidence with practitioner expertise and client preferences and values into the process of making clinical decisions
What is evidence-based practice?
This exercise principle is defined as the load used in an exercise
What is intensity?
This compensation is directed at reducing residue
What is a re-swallow or double swallow?
This rehabilitation approach is targeted at increasing hyoid and laryngeal excursion and requires fairly good cognition
What is the Mendelsohn maneuver?
The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument is one device that provides objective measurement of this function
What is lingual strength?
We should always consider these 2 opposing features in choosing a specific treatment
What are risks & benefits?
This exercise principle involves the use of continued practice of a particular exercise pattern
What is adaptation?
This compensatory posture is commonly used to decrease posterior bolus leakage/spillage
What is the chin tuck?
This rehabilitation technique involves instructing the client to swallow hard
What is the effortful swallow?
This characteristic of liquid that is frequently modified, can result in slowed transit & increased pharyngeal pressure
What is viscosity or thickness?
These 2 concepts are generally reflected in dysphagia goals
What are safety/efficiency and nutrition/hydration?
This exercise principle can be summarized by the saying "use or lose it"
What is reversibility?
This compensatory strategy may be implemented by the patient or by someone feeding or cueing the patient to pause between bites for a designated period of time
What is pacing?
This rehabilitation technique targets lingual retraction
What is the Masako?
Individuals who are known aspirators of thin liquids may be permitted water under specific conditions as part of this protocol
What is the Frazier Free Water protocol?
Regarding the primary diagnosis of the client, this consideration will impact our treatment plan
What is the anticipated medical course?
This exercise principle involves systematically increasing intensity & demand
What is progression?
These 2 factors have a potential interaction and should be considered when assessing and recommending modified diets
What are viscosity/thickness and volume?
A client who needs to improve hyolaryngeal excursion and pharyngeal wall constriction may benefit from this rehabilitation technique
What is the Shaker or the head-lift exercise?
While these treatments were not specifically developed to treat dysphagia, they have been shown to have positive impacts, cross-effects, on swallow function
What are LSVT & EMST?
