The effect of the neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the suprahyoid muscle activity during swallowing in subjects with dysphagia

Conclusion: the use of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on the parameters and methodolo gy used did not prove efficient in promoting greater contraction of the suprahyoid muscles during the swallowing, in post-stroke individuals with oropharyngeal dysphagia. The data obtained may be due to the methodology used in this study relative to the protocol application and the way to measure th e results.
