Restoration of swallowing after a stroke

Treatment of swallowing disorders after a stroke is a specialty of speech therapist. The goal of such therapy is partial or complete restoration or compensation of  lost functions. Treatment uses  stimulating and restraining techniques that involve stretching, manual influence with pressure elements, tapping, etc.  Such therapy  may use neurophysiological techniques, for example, Bobat´s technique. Treatment also includes diet, control of the eating processes, changing the position of the head and the whole body and using special swallowing techniques. Mendelssohn's syndrome damage to the glottic area deserve to be mentioned here.
