Therapeutic approach to dysphagia in post-COVID patients in a rehabilitation unit, a descriptive longitudinal study

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a structured swallowing-exercise training intervention based on IEMT and NMES is feasible and safe in prolonged hospitalization post-COVID patients.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: To describe rehabilitation protocols used to treat dysphagia in post-COVID patients will help us to optimize the available techniques in each center and to induce a faster recovery avoiding potential complications.PMID:38502558 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08234-0
