| Abstract | The Mendelsohn maneuver, voluntary prolongation of laryngeal elevation during the swallow, has been widely used as a compensatory strategy to improve upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening and bolus flow. Recent research suggests that when used as a rehabilitative exercise, it significantly improves durations of hyoid movement and positively impacts duration of UES opening. The current data were derived from that same prospective crossover study of 18 participants with dysphagia post-stroke evaluated with videofluoroscopy after treatment using the Mendelsohn maneuver versus no-treatment. Results demonstrate gains in extent of hyoid movement and UES opening and improvements in coordination of structural movements with each other as well as with bolus flow. |
