Summary

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of game-based biofeedback application via surface electromyography in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. The same treatment interventions will be applied with and without biofeedback, and thus the contribution of adding biofeedback to the treatment will be determined.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Dysphagia
• Surface Electromyography
• Biofeedback
• Swallowing Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	With EMG-Biofeedback	Once a day for a total of 15 sessions, the Mendelsohn maneuver will be performed for 15 minutes and the effortful swallow maneuver will be performed for 15 minutes with game-based emg-biofeedback.
BEHAVIORAL	Without EMG-Biofeedback	Once a day for a total of 15 sessions, the Mendelsohn maneuver will be performed for 15 minutes and the effortful swallow maneuver will be performed for 15 minutes with only verbal feedback.
BEHAVIORAL	Usual Care	Patient and family education will be provided by the investigator. In addition, each patient will be evaluated and oral motor exercises and thermal tactile stimulation will be given to each patient when necessary.
