Question
Answer
Downward Pressure on Tongue (w/spoon)   To treat reduced oral sensation, delayed oral/pharyngeal swallow. Improves oral sensory awareness.  
Sour & Cold Bolus   To treat reduced oral sensation, delayed onset of swallow, pharyngeal delay. Improves oral sensory awareness. Put in mesh cloth if swallowing not wanted.  
Thermal Tactile Swallow   Treats delayed initiation of pharyngeal aspect of swallowing. Improves oral sensory awareness. Stroke anterior faucial pillars w cold stimulus. Effect continues for several swallows after. Not permanent.  
Bolus requiring chewing & Large Volume & Suck-Swallow   treats reduced oral sensation, delayed oral/pharyngeal swallow. Improves oral sensory awareness.  
Tactile + Proprioceptive Input from   bolus requiring chewing  
Increased tongue elevation from   Suck-Swallow  
Other compensatory strategies   multiple swallows, small sips/amounts, modifying food presentation  
Liquid Wash   immediately following pudding/solid if its getting stuck (oral/pharyngeal residue)  
3 second prep   from neurological/psychological research, preparing to swallow mentally  
External support   external pressure to weaker cheek, labial & chin support  
Intraoral prosthetics   For tongue resection, palatal work, lower palatal work, helps swallow  
Most Invasive Strategy   Changing food consistency  
Thickened Liquids   Treats oral tongue dysfunction, delayed pharyngeal swallow  
Purees   Treats delayed pharyngeal swallow, reduced laryngeal closure  
Rehabilitative Strategies for Oral Phase   Stretch Reflex, OM exercises, resistance, bolus propulsion, ROM exercises (passive & active), lifting back of tongue,  
Stretch Reflex- rehab strategy   for oral weakness  
OM exercises- rehab strategy   for Oral weakness, drecreased ROM, therapist initiated (passive) lip stretches, patient initiated (active)=pucker/release,close lips smack hard, smack,retract/hold,puff cheeks,resist ext. pressure  
Resistance- rehab strategy   for oral weakness/decreased ROM. Push against tongue depressor.  
Bolus Manipulation- rehab strategy   for decreased ROM. therapist holds bolus in mesh on string and pt moves it around  
Bolus Propulsion- rehab strategy   for decreased ROM. Juice in gauze, pt squeezes juice out and swallows  
ROM exercise- rehab strategy   for decreased ROM. Elevate anterior/posterior tongue and hold. side to side. pull tongue back/hold.  
Lift back of tongue- rehab strategy   for decreased lingua velar seal, not base of tongue. Hard /k/ words
