Article Synopsis
- Action Observation Therapy (AOT) is being studied as a way to improve motor control and help with swallowing problems in people with neurological disorders by engaging the mirror nervous system.
- A study compared two groups, one doing conventional swallowing therapy with AOT (watching exercise videos) and the other without, over 4 weeks.
- Results indicated that the AOT group had lower muscle activation and better swallowing scores, suggesting that AOT may effectively enhance swallowing functions in patients with neurological dysphagia.
Background: Cervical posture affects swallowing function through contractile and non-contractile structures. Craniocervical flexor endurance training (CCFET), which focuses on the activation of deep cervical muscles, is used to ensure cervical posture stability.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CCFET on the suprahyoid muscles (SH), which play an important role in swallowing function.
