Swallowing Animation: A Complex Act
Check out the multiple muscles and structures that are involved in the process of swallowing.
Something you take for granted until it doesn't work right anymore! Credit to Brian Wagner for animation.
Is it NMES?
Not all electrical stimulation for dysphagia is NMES. Here are the key features in distinguishing NMES from other protocols.
How NMES works
This is how neuromuscular electrical stimulation works. It evokes action potentials by replicating the electrical signals that normally occur. In a deficient neuromuscular system, NMES, combined with functional tasks, can restore what has been lost.

4 things
There are 4 important concepts
anyone using NMES should know.

Pulse Duration
Pulse duration is a critical parameter for NMES. Here's one simple way of understanding it as it relates to waveforms.

an NMES treatment for a patient.
Electrode Placement
