Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Muscular strengthening training
The muscular strengthening training is permformed 3 times daily as "head-ups" where the participant lies down and lifts their head anf then holds it upright during 60 seconds. This is repeated x 3 followed by 30 head-lifts. The duration of the training programme is 6 weeks.
Muscular strengthening training
6 weeks daily muscular strengthening training.
Skill-based training
During the skill-based training programme, food and beverages are used as swallowing training material based on a pre-determined food-hierarchy. The training starts at the highest level that the participant can safely swallow and then progresses as strength and coordination of swallowing improves. This training is comprised of 15 speech- and language pathologist lead training sessions during 3 weeks.
Skill-based training
15 sessions skill based swallowing training lead by a speech and language pathologist during 3 weeks.
Compensatory treatment
The control group will receive information about dysphagia and advise on compensatory strategies.
