Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction
Swallowing, as the first phase of digestion, is one of the most complicated neuromuscular processes of the central nervous system. The presence of dysphagia can itself cause medical, psychosocial, and economic complications. A medical complication of dysphagia includes aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, significant weight loss, and dehydration.
Materials and Methods
It was a retrospective study. In information regarding speech and swallowing therapeutics were studied from the routine clinical records by speech pathologist.
Results
The present retrospective study was focused on highlighting the outcomes of swallowing rehabilitation in patients with dysphagia in various aetiologies. It was observed that swallowing compensatory strategies, postural changes, rehabilitative manoeuvres, thermal stimulation, indirect and direct therapy showed tremendous improvement in patients with dysphagia with various aetiologies.
Conclusion
This study provides further information regarding the severity of swallowing physiology in disorders and its improvement subsequent to traditional swallowing therapy which will contribute to literature in Indian context.
