| Description | Aim: Dysphagia is a risk for complications (an aspiration and a malnutrition) and therefore it is necessary to treat it. The aim of the study was to as sess the changes of swal low ing in patients after stroke with dysphagia after four weeks of orofacial rehabilitation with or without electrostimulation of the suprahyoid muscles. Methods: A prospective study of patients in the early phase post stroke with dysphagia was done from 1/ 2015 to 12/ 2016. In the experimental group of 54 patients (26 men, average age 70 years) was performed electrostimulation of the suprahyoid muscles 20 min a day, 5 days per week. In the control group of 54 patients (31 men, average age 69 years) was performed the standard orofacial rehabilitation without electrostimulation. |
