Our Equipment

5.PNG

Our equipment helps patients learn to swallow again or improve their swallow. The highly customizable treatment provides visual and auditory biofeedback during swallowing for objective measurement of effortful swallows. Our equipment establishes a baseline measurement of muscle activity, via the inclusion of Surface Electromyography (sEMG), to set treatment targets. During therapy, electrical stimulation to the target muscle group is activated by the patient’s effort.

​

In a clinical trial of nearly 900 patients using this equipment, more than 98% showed improved scores in swallow function. More than 97% of the patients with severe dysphagia regained swallow function past feeding tube reliance and nearly 40% regained full swallow ability. Depending upon the severity level, this equipment has been proven to be two to three times more effective than traditional stimulation therapy techniques (past performance is no guarantee of future results).
