ANSWER: A) 29%

According to a 2025 integrative review of 41 research studies published in Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups (Pu, Liu, & Yao, 2025), only 29% of people would seek medical help within 24 hours of experiencing swallowing problems.

While...
🔹 71% would seek help within 24 hours for a breast lump
🔹 82% would seek help within 24 hours for chest pain

And yet swallowing problems can lead to aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration, and significantly reduced quality of life - sometimes within days of onset.

Most people don't know what dysphagia is and don't know that an SLP can help!

This is the awareness gap our field is up against every single day.

Early intervention changes outcomes, but early intervention only happens when people know to ask for help.

We love this feedback because it highlights something crucial...

Learning complex clinical protocols shouldn't feel overwhelming. We teach you a protocol AND we prepare you to succeed with it.

There's a difference between knowing about Ampcare ESP and being confident using it.

We want every clinician to leave the training feeling prepared, supported, and excited to implement what they've learned.

ANSWER: FALSE

Cognitive impairment and the inability to follow commands does NOT automatically rule out meaningful dysphagia intervention.

In fact, passive NMES may be exactly the right starting point for these patients.

Even without active participation, electrical stimulation still activates afferent sensory pathways and efferent motor pathways, sending meaningful signals to the nervous system whether the patient is consciously engaging or not!

For patients who can't follow commands, we recommend:
🔹 Starting with passive NMES at a comfortable intensity
🔹 Using autonomic cues: bubbles, a mouthguard pull, offering a spoon, anything that might elicit effort during stimulation-on times
🔹 Monitoring non-verbal cues for discomfort throughout
🔹 Counting any response during the five-second stimulation window as exercise

Cognitive limitations change HOW you deliver therapy, not WHETHER you can help.

Guess what?

It's possible!

A pilot study by Carmichael et al (2011) looked at the effects of:
Ampcare's electrical stimulation parameters
E Series Electrodes on the suprahyoid musculature
...to assess laryngeal muscle activity during swallow of different bolus sizes.

They found a 3-fold increase in hyolaryngeal muscle activity when ESP was combined with swallowing exercises, compared to exercises alone!

Here's how they measured it:
🔬 20 healthy adults
📊 Surface EMG sensors placed over the infrahyoid muscles
⚡ ESP delivered over the suprahyoids while sEMG measured muscle activity
🎥 Videofluoroscopy monitored bolus movement throughout

When you ask a patient to do an effortful swallow, you're reeeeally hoping they're generating enough muscle activation to make a difference.

With ESP, you're not guessing anymore.

You're creating a resistive environment that demands three times the muscle effort, targeting the fast-twitch Type IIb muscle fibers that traditional exercises often miss.

This is the difference between going through the motions and actually training the muscles that matter!

Are you ready to triple your patients' muscle activation for swallowing?

Do you have your answer ready?

If you said…

👉 A - you’d be CORRECT!

When the swallow is delayed, the bolus can fill the vallecula or pyriform sinuses while the airway remains unprotected.

This is the classic setup for pre-swallow aspiration.

BUT remember... It’s not one-size-fits-all.

Severity varies: A slight delay might cause residue or a mild cough, but a longer pause greatly increases aspiration risk.

Patient factors: Some cough effectively to protect the airway; others aspirate, raising pneumonia risk.

So what really matters?

👉Time: How delayed is the swallow? Milliseconds can be the difference between safety and silent aspiration.
👉Airway response: Does the patient cough (overt) or silently aspirate? That influences how aggressive the intervention must be.
👉Consistency and volume: Thin liquids are riskier; residue from thicker boluses can also be aspirated after the swallow.
That’s where Ampcare ESP comes in!

Our FDA-cleared NMES device is designed to SPEED UP swallow initiation, hyolaryngeal elevation, and laryngeal vestibule closure.

By coupling electrical stimulation with resistive exercises for 30 minutes daily, we strengthen muscle timing and coordination.

Ready to help speed up airway closure for more of your patients?
