Summary

Patients with stroke frequently present phonation difficulties. An intervention combining myofunctional and respiratory training is presented in order to improve phonation outcomes.

Detailed description

Patients with stroke frequently present phonation difficulties. An intervention combining myofunctional and respiratory training is presented to improve phonation outcomes. Myofunctional therapy is based on exercise training program for the muscles around your face, mouth, and tongue. Respiratory muscle strength training focuses on increasing the force-generating capacity of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles. A combination of both may be of interest to improve phonation parameters.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Myofunctional and respiratory training program	The patients will receive exercises included in a myofunctional approach and a respiratory training focused on inspiratory and expiratory muscles using a device.
OTHER	Range of motion and thermal and mechanical stimulation exercising	The patients will receive the standard treatment of speech and language therapy including range of motion exercises (open and close the mouth) and thermal and mechanical stimulation in the orofacial region.
