Neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves swallowing initiation in patients with post-stroke dysphagia

ObjectiveMore than half of post-stroke patients develop dysphagia, which manifests as delayed swallowing and is associated with a high risk of aspiration. In this study, we aimed to investigate the immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on swallowing initiation in post-strok...
