뇌졸중 연하장애 환자의 호기근육 강화 훈련에 관한 연구

A study on expiratory muscle strength training in stroke patients with dysphagia

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect expiratory muscle strengt h training on the swallow function to stroke patient with dysphagia. Method: This study was conducted on 4 patients who had swallowing disability after st roke confirmed by Videofluoroscopy study. Swallowing function were accomplished with the before experiment later. They were applied to the traditional swallowing treatment a pplied after adding the expiratory muscle strength training. The training program on sub jets 20 min per course, 5 days a for 4 weeks. The evaluation about the expiratoty functi on will be a maximum expiratory pressure and Peak expiratory flow. Result: After 4 weeks of experimentation, swallowing function has improved more than the expiratory muscle strength training applied before. Conclusion: The result supported the expiratory muscle strength training with traditiona l swallowing management on the more improvement of the airway protection to stroke patient.
