Background: Dysarthria frequently occurs as a result of stroke and adversely impacts speech sound production, making it more difficult for the listener to understand what the person with dysarthria is attempting to communicate. This in turn may lead to social isolation, depression, and increased cost of care. Some studies have underscored the impor...

Limited access to comprehensive assessment of physiological disorders of the upper aerodigestive tract by different specialties represents a barrier to care in rural healthcare settings, which may lead to misdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, and increased associated mortality. No single differential diagnostic exam for the comprehensive assessment of all...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased burnout and staff turnover for health care providers (HCPs). The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the safety and acceptability of a Stress Resilience Program (SRP) for reducing perceived stress and improving resilience among HCPs during a pandemic. Method Of the 12 HCPs expressing in...

Background Although dysphonia is less prevalent than dysphagia following cerebrovascular accidents, dysphonia does contribute to the burden of disease resulting from stroke. Strengthening muscles of the larynx and respiratory tract through respiratory muscle training (RMT) has proven effective in improving voice after neurological insult. However,...

Background Dysphagia is prevalent with cerebrovascular accidents and contributes to the burden of disease and mortality. Strengthening dysfunctional swallow muscles through respiratory muscle training (RMT) has proven effective in improving swallow effectiveness and safety. However, approaches to strengthen only the expiratory muscle groups (EMST)...

Many lifestyle and occupational habits negatively impact on physical and mental health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. While larger institutions fulfill occupational health requirements to ensure their employees’ wellbeing at work, smaller business workers and entrepreneurs may neglect initial signs of stress or physical...

Clinical Context and Key Findings Home-based COPD managment, as provided by certified home-health providers, represents a cornerstone of patient care. Resporatory muscle trainig (RMT) reduces symptoms of COPD and improves underlying respiratory muscle weakness, and may be a beneficial adjunct of standard of care treatment plans. This 4 Week pilot s...

... ; especially when all comorbid issues in a given system are not identified early in the diagnostic process. Clear, timely delineation of primary and comorbid physiological deficits of the upper aerodigestive tract is desirable when considering the selection of the most cost-effective holistic treatment(s) particularly given the existing evidence pertaining to cross-over treatment effects [53][54][55][56]. Such an approach to identification and management of aerodigestive issues may be considered a superior philosophy of comprehensive airway management across populations. ...
... The place of cRMT in the treatment algorithm of dysarthria needs to be confirmed, however, several aspects should be considered for effective integration of this approach into the therapeutic strategy. Strengthening the respiratory muscle groups by cRMT can be expected to have a holistic effect on some of the potential comorbidities, including dysphonia and dysphagia [36,55]. Furthermore, the diaphragm not only functions as the main breathing muscle, but also as a postural muscle [56]. ...
... Incorporating respiratory-swallow analysis in the assessment of pre-and post-lung transplant MBSS is unexplored. Respiratory-swallow (RST) training has proven both feasible (Hopkins-Rossabi et al., 2019) and beneficial in many populations (Athukorala et al., 2014;Martin-Harris et al., 2015) as has respiratory muscle strength training (RMST) (Arnold & Bausek, 2020;Brooks et al., 2019;Eom et al., 2017;Hegland et al., 2016;Hutcheson et al., 2018;Plowman et al., 2019), though both are unexplored in this population (pre-and post-lung transplant). For posttransplant patients, treating SLPs should work closely with the pulmonary transplant team to determine RST and/or RMST and cough testing candidacy, which will be unique in every patient case. ...
... Anxiety and stress have been associated with cardiopulmonary symptoms such as hyperventilation, chest tightness, dyspnea, tachycardia, and palpitations (Hamasaki, 2020;Kavan et al., 2009). Breathing interventions including yoga breathing (pranayama; Brown & Gerbarg, 2009), Diaphragmatic (Deep) Breathing (Hamasaki, 2020;Hooper et al., 2018), and respiratory muscle training (RMT) may aid with stress and anxiety and decrease cardiovascular disease risk Bausek et al., 2020;Shaikh et al., 2019). Complete RMT (cRMT) focuses on strengthening both the expiratory and the inspiratory respiratory muscles . ...
... The direct effect of cRMT on peak flow on the participants in the intervention group was not unexpected given the nature and intensity of the training and existing data from other studies [36,37,51]. It is likely that the experimental group participants experienced an increase in both inspiratory strength (resulting in higher initial lung volumes for the task), and forced expiratory strength (allowing for higher expiratory flow volume for the task). ...
