Study 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.
