Study on the treatment of dysphagia after stroke with electromyographic biofeedback intensive training

Figure 1 Comparison of the swallowing disorder score and penetration-aspiration scale score. All statistical data in this study were entered into excel software by the first author and corresponding author respectively, and the statistical processing software was SPSS 25.0 for calculation, expressed as the measurement value of the mean ± SD, does not meet the the data with normal distribution was described by M (QR), and the Mann-Whitney test was used. The data in line with the normal distribution used repeated measures analysis of variance. It was found that there was no significant difference in the swallowing disorder score (VGF) score and Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) score between the three groups before treatment (P > 0.05); after 4 wk of treatment, it was found that the VGF scores of the three groups of patients were all increased compared with before, and the PAS scores were significantly improved (P < 0.05). Among them, the effective rate of the intensive electromyographic biofeedback (EMGBF) group was higher than that of the conventional group (P < 0.05). Compared with the EMGBF group, the training group was significantly improved, and the intensive EMGBF group improved the PAS score compared with the EMGBF group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The VGF score of the enhanced EMGBF group was improved, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). A: The swallowing disorder score; B: Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale score. EMGBF: Electromyographic biofeedback; VGF: The swallowing disorder score; PAS: Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale.
