Effects of Surface Electromyographic (sEMG) Biofeedback Training During the Mendelsohn Maneuver vs. the Mendelsohn Maneuver Carly Pengelly, B.S. & Abbie Olszewski, Ph.D., CCCSLP University of Nevada, Reno IntroductionPurposePICO (patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome) framework (Gillam & Gillam, 2008) was used to develop the following clinical question: P— Adults with neurogenic dysphagia I— sEMG biofeedback with a Mendelsohn Maneuver C—only a Mendelsohn maneuver O— improve swallowing as measured by larynx eleva=on and quan=ty of residue post swallow Swallowing is a biochemical process characterized quan=ta=vely by, “ displacement of oropharyngeal structures and associated =ming and dura=on of movement during a swallow” (WheelerHegland, Rosenbeck, Sapienza, 2008). Problems with swallowing is known as Dysphagia, which can be a result of a TBI, stroke, cancer, or other neurologic diseases. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) feedback provides biofeedback on the =ming of selected muscle contrac=on paSerns during swallowing on the amplitude of electric ac=vity of the muscles. The Mendelsohn maneuver is a type of behavioral treatment that requires the pa=ent to learn to swallow by voluntarily prolonging the hyolaryngeal eleva=on at the peak of the swallow. It is designed to prolong the dura=on of muscular forces during swallowing I am new graduate student of Speech Language Pathology at the University of Nevada, Reno and am interested in working in a acute care or rehabilita=on seWng with adults with dysphagia. AXer observing diagnos=c evalua=ons and therapy at the University of Nevada, Reno, I have learned different compensatory techniques for swallowing to reduce residue and aspira=on by eleva=ng the larynx. In the different evalua=ons observed, different techniques were used to minimize residue and aspira=on yielding different amounts depending on the technique or mul=ple techniques used.

Internal evidence to clinical pracRce: Results indicate neurogenic dysphagia pa=ents have greater efficiency outcomes results than cancer pa=ents with dysphagia when using Mendelsohn maneuver. • sEMG may not be accessible in all facili=es; whereas the Mendelsohn Maneuver can be trained in all seWngs. • Cogni=ve abili=es need to be accounted for when making compensatory behavior strategies that require learning. Summary: If accessible, using sEMG with Mendelsohn maneuver results in more effec=ve swallowing efficiency than Mendelsohn alone.
