Brownwyn,
Basically, the Shakir exercises are to aid in laryngeal elevation. Not all
pts. are able to do this, but for those who can, they are quite effective.
The individual lies flat on a hard surface (floor or mat in therapy gym)--the
bed doesn't work. Then he/she slowly raises the head looking toward the toes
and holds before a slow gentle release. Repeat up to 15-20 times as
tolerated. (If you don't believe this works, try it on yourself when lying on
the floor.) You'll be able to feel yourself how effective this is yourself.
It's hard work!
