Measure
Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST)
Participants will receive Expiratory Muscle Strength Training. Expiratory Muscle Strength Training is a device driven strength training paradigm for respiratory muscles. Twenty-five repetitions per day (5 sets of 5 repetitions) will be completed five days per week. Once per week with a clinician.
Sensorimotor Training for Airway Protection (smTAP)
Participants will be randomized to receive Sensorimotor Training for Airway Protection. Sensorimotor Training for Airway Protection is a skill-based paradigm for improving airway protective function. Twenty-five repetitions per day (5 sets of 5 repetitions) will be completed five days per week. Once per week with a clinician.
