Foundations of Respiratory Muscle Training: Dysphagia Therapy

Course overview

Expiratory muscle training (EMT) is an evidence-based treatment that is becoming increasingly popular in treating oropharyngeal dysphagia. However, not all professionals providing this therapy feel confident understanding its principles and use. As a result of this course, clinicians will feel confident in understanding not only the effects of EMT on normal swallowing but also the benefits of EMT for oropharyngeal dysphagia. Clinicians will have an understanding of benefits of EMT in various patient populations and will be able to select evidence-based therapy devices.
