Introduction[edit | edit source]
Positioning[edit | edit source]
Position during eating and drinking[edit | edit source]
Body position:
- 30 degrees reclining position:[1]
- raises the front of the oral cavity and lowers the back
- facilitates bringing a food bolus from the oral cavity to the throat for patients with difficulties sending a food bolus into the pharynx
- raises the respiratory tract and lowers the oesophagus making its easier to slide the bolus down the posterior wall of the pharynx, thus minimising aspiration.
- 60 degrees or higher position is needed for independent feeding[1]
- maintaining a seated position from 30 minutes[2] to 2 hours[3] after eating may prevent gastroesophageal reflux and reduce risk for aspiration
Chin tuck (chin down):[1]
- the chin down position may involve head flexion, neck flexion, or a combination of both
- the head flexion involving the upper cervical spine is effective when food residue is stuck in the epiglottic vallecula
- the neck flexion involving the middle and lower cervical spine is effective the initiation of swallowing reflex is poor.
- the effectiveness of each position should be verified by a Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study or by a video-endoscopic examinations
Chin-up:[4]
- the chin-up posture involves the head and neck extension and lifting of the chin before initiation of the swallow.
- the head and neck extension facilitates posterior bolus transit using the force of gravity
- patient with reduction in base of tongue movements due to oral pain, mucositis, fibrosis caused by radiation, and chemoradiation and patients with prolonged oral transit time and reduced tongue strength may benefit from this posture [2]
- chin-up position is recommended only in patients with intact laryngeal and pharyngeal function
- chin-up position should be used with caution. Study by Lazarus et al.[5] has found that even in healthy subject, the chin-up posture presents a challenge as it alters the normal sequence of swallowing events and it is "necessary to further investigate how the chin-up posture affects the sequence of events of impaired swallows."[5]
Head rotation:
- the effect of head rotation on swallowing involves narrowing of the piriform on the side that was turned and expanding on the opposite side. This manoeuvre makes the food bolus to travel down the non-rotated side much easier [1]
- head rotation technique can benefit patients with the paralysis of the pharynx (bulbar paralysis as an example). It helps guiding a food bolus to the healthy side or less paralysed side.[1]
Head tilt:
- head tilt towards the stronger side is going to promote the diversion of the bolus to the stronger side. The force of gravity will help to bring a food bolus downward and pass through the non-paralysed side. [2][1]
Exercises[edit | edit source]
Dysphagia can be managed by improvement in oro-motor function which includes the function created by the movements of the mouth, tongue, jaw, and lips, and in oral motor skills such as swallowing, sucking, biting, chewing, and speaking functions. [6]
Guidelines for Exercises in Dysphagia[edit | edit source]
Determinants of dose for exercise prescriptions dysphagia should include: (1) duration or length of the programme, (2)intensity (% of max), (3)repetitions (number of actions per set), and (4) frequency (number of sets/day, number of days/week).[7]
Factors Affecting Outcomes[edit | edit source]
- poor compliance with swallow exercises reported with patients treated for head and neck cancer
- pre-treatment depression correlates with poor compliance with exercises
- timing and type of exercises. Lazarus et al.[5] found that one month post-radiotherapy for patients treated for head and neck cancer may be too soon to initiate a swallow therapy programme.
Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]
Outcome measures for each type of exercises are highly variable. When combination exercises are used the following outcome measures are recommended:[7]
- Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS)
- Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS - measures changes on videofluoroscopy)
- Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube dependence [8]
- Lingual pressure measurements [9]
- MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory
Oro-Motor Exercises[edit | edit source]
- Mandible Exercises:[7]
- include jaw opening, jaw closing, and chin tuck against resistance (CTAR)[10]
- outcome measures consist of chin tuck strength, jaw opening strength, tongue strength, muscle volume, changes in videofluoroscopy parameters, body weight gain, Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) ratings laryngeal elevation and epiglottic closure
- recommended frequency: 3x/day times 7 days/week [11]
- Lip muscle training:[2]
- protruding the lips while biting an ice cream stick to prevent jaw and teeth from moving
- lip rounding, such as if you're blowing a whistle or blowing on something hot
- Cheeks exercises:[2]
- puffing the cheeks
- Tongue exercises:
