[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of a combined method incorporating the Mendelsohn maneuver and effortful swallowing on aspiration in patients with dysphagia after stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Three patients with dysphagia were recruited. All patients were treated with a combined method consisting of the Mendelsohn maneuver and effortful swallowing. The intervention period was total 20 sessions. Evaluation was based on videofluoroscopic swallowing study and the degree of aspiration was assessed using penetration-aspiration scale. [Results] Before and after intervention, all participants showed a decrease in aspiration with liquid type and semisolid type food. [Conclusion] This study confirms that the combined method of the Mendelsohn maneuver and effortful swallowing has a positive effect on aspiration in patients with dysphagia after stroke.

Effect of Tongue-Hold Swallow on Laryngeal Elevation During Swallowing in Healthy Older Men.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if tongue-hold swallow (THS) training improves laryngeal elevation in healthy older men and if its muscle activity is similar to the known Mendelsohn maneuver (MM).
- Involved 10 healthy older men who underwent THS training for six weeks, evaluating maximum tongue pressure and laryngeal elevation under different swallowing conditions.
- Results indicated increased maximum tongue pressure and laryngeal elevation distance, with THS showing higher muscle activity in submental muscles compared to normal swallow, while MM demonstrated greater activity in the thyrohyoid region.

Esophageal cancer is a malignant epithelial alteration that takes place in the middle or upper part of the esophagus. Given the escalating population of individuals who have successfully overcome esophageal cancer, the significance of addressing disease- and treatment-associated complaints and symptoms is increasingly pertinent. This highlights the necessity of interventions meant to enhance quality of life (QOL).

The aim of this study was to design a new maneuver called the Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver (MOSM), and to compare swallowing kinematics and submental muscles activation (SMA) between MOSM and two current approaches used in dysphagia rehabilitation. Fifty healthy volunteers were asked to perform three repetitions of dry swallowing (DS) (control task), the MOSM, the Mendelsohn Maneuver (MM), and the Tongue-Hold Maneuver (THM) during videofluoroscopic swallowing study accompanied with simultaneous SMA recording. Swallowing kinematics were measured by frame-by-frame analysis on hyolaryngeal movement using ImageJ.

Peak velocity, distance, and time of laryngeal elevation during swallowing were measured with a laryngeal motion measurement system in eight healthy young adult men in their 20 and 30 s (33.0 ± 4.3 years) and ten healthy older men in their 60 and 70 s (74.

The Mendelsohn Maneuver (MM) is a therapeutic strategy that targets reduced laryngeal elevation. Both clinicians and clients identify the MM as one of the more difficult interventions to teach and learn. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of applying real-time ultrasound as visual feedback in teaching the MM to healthy adults.
