[An influence of myofascial release techniques on the esophagus pressure for patients after total laryngectomy].

Unlabelled: The increase of patients after total laryngectomy myofascial neck and arms area tension might be observed. Via fascial continuity it has an adverse impact on superior oesophageal constrictor, forming the "mouth of oesophagus", which hinders learning oesophagus speech.

The Aim: The assessment of manual myofascial release techniques influence on the patients' oesophagus pressure after total laryngectomy.

Estimation of influence of myofascial release techniques on esophageal pressure in patients after total laryngectomy.

In patients after total laryngectomy, increased tension in myofascial neck and arm areas might be observed. Via fascial continuity it has an adverse impact on the superior esophageal constrictor forming the "mouth of the oesophagus", which hinders learning of esophageal speech. The aim is to assess the effect of manual myofascial release techniques on esophageal pressure in patients after total laryngectomy.
