Abstract:
Objective To explorer the effectiveness of game-based surface electromyographic biofeedback training (GBsEMGBF) on dysphagic brainstem injury patients.Methods Thirty-six brainstem injury dysphagic patients were randomly and evenly divided into a treatment group and a control group,both of 18,by using a random number table.Both groups were given conventional swallowing rehabilitation including oral sensory and motor training,Mendelsohn swallowing training and balloon dilatation of the cricopharyngeal muscle.The treatment group was additionally provided with GBsEMGBF training.All the treatments were provided 5 times per week for 5 weeks.Both groups were assessed using the functional oral intake scale (FOIS),penetration-aspiration scale (PAS),hyoid anterior movement (HAM),hyoid superior movement (HSM) and upper esophageal sphincter opening (UO) before and after the intervention.Results Before the treatment there were no significant differences between the two groups in all the measurements.After the treatment,there was a significant improvement in the average FOIS,PAS,HAM and HSM scores in both groups,but with significantly greater improvement in the treatment group.Significant improvement was observed in the average UO score after the intervention,but without significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion GBsEMGBF can significantly improve the swallowing function and hyoid motor function in dysphagic patients caused by brainstem injury.
