[DYSPHAGIA] oral dyspagia/e-stin/o-m ex



It is my understanding that the stand on electrical stim from old research is don't do it as it doesn't work, this from our PT peers. Thus I would not want to encorporate estim in this person's treatment......

Dear Ron:

I've seen functional return range from complete recovery to nil.
Electrical and thermal stim, or any other modality that has the
potential to keep muscle mass/strength as good as possible while medical
treatments and/or time facilitate recovery, on a  purely logical level,
make sense. 

Sincerely,
Jeff
