(Live Podcast) Strength vs. Skill for Dysphagia (Re)hab: How Do We Choose?

Course overview

This is a live filming of a Medbridge podcast. In this dynamic session, you'll have a front-row seat to listen in on the experts in conversation while also engaging with a vibrant community chat that gives you direct access to peers and leaders in a modern, accessible way. James Curtis, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, director of the Aerodigestive Innovations Research Lab (AIR) in New York City, joins host Sarah Baar, MA, CCC-SLP, for an insightful, live conversation that cuts through the noise of dysphagia rehabilitation. Together, they break down the critical distinctions between strength-based and skill-based dysphagia exercises, addressing common clinical challenges in how therapy programs are structured. You will discover how to move beyond generic, one-size-fits-all exercise handouts by intentionally integrating the principles of strength training and the principles of motor learning into your daily practice. Tune in to elevate your clinical reasoning, optimize your dysphagia treatment decisions, and walk away with actionable, evidence-based strategies for designing high-impact therapy plans.
