Suprahyoid Muscle Activity in Post-Stroke Dysphagia Patients Undergoing NMES Therapy

Eight post-stroke subjects with oropharyngeal dysphagia participated in a study comparing traditional speech-language therapy with therapy combined with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. The data includes pre- and post-treatment measurements of suprahyoid muscle contraction time and amplitude during swallowing, collected via Surface Electromyography Biofeedback. The dataset was created by researcher Maíra Barbosa Lobo and is available via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of NMES-aided therapy versus traditional therapy based on muscle activity measurements.
• Analyze the relationship between swallowing tasks (saliva, paste) and muscle contraction parameters.
• Investigate individual patient responses to neuromuscular electrical stimulation based on pre-post treatment data.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled clinical study with an experimental group (n=4) and a control group (n=4).
• Includes pre- and post-treatment measurements for eight therapy sessions, allowing for longitudinal comparison.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The small sample size of eight participants may limit the statistical power and generalizability of findings.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
