This unique new system is an easy- to-use tool to strengthen the weakened swallow. Using micro- resistance straws and a measuring cylinder, the client is instructed to make an “effortful suck,” press the tongue tip firmly against the ridge behind the top teeth, and swallow using an “effortful swallow.” The micro- resistance straws only allow trace amounts of water to be generated per swallow. As the amount of water drawn increases, smaller, more difficult resistance straws are introduced, progressing the exercises in difficulty. This neuromuscular resistance exerciser is designed to promote repetitive swallowing practice outside of treatment and to keep clients on thin liquids. Works excellently in conjunction with NMES. Kit contains: gauged cylinder with sliding guide to mark fluid levels; set of straws; measuring cup; instructional manual; and recording sheets • Single-client use only #MCC82773 $52.75 kit
