Translating MBS Study Results Into Targeted Treatment: Evidence-Based Interventions Using The MBSImP Approach

Course overview

This first portion of this course overviews frontline interventions and the physiologic swallow components for which they are appropriate. Discussed are compensation and retraining strategies to target specific components of the swallowing mechanism (MBSImP Components). The presentation expands to discuss strength training, skill training, and programmatic & intensive multi-modality interventions. The second portion of this course will present patient case studies. Based on patient MBS Study results, participants are guided through selection of targeted interventions and treatment planning. Discussion will include MBSImP component-scores and PA Scale results, and how this information is used in developing a targeted intervention plan to include diet recommendations (IDDSI levels), compensatory strategies, and retraining interventions. Short and long-term goals are outlined in detail for each case study. Focus is the adult population.
