•1. Adults post cortical and/or brainstem infarct
•2. Demonstrated oro-pharyngeal dysphagia as diagnosed by Speech Pathologist, persisting for more than 2 weeks
•3. Patients who have been identified post VFSS as appropriate for effortful swallow or mendelsohn manoeuvre rehabilitation approaches; i.e. impairment in the following scales on the Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study rating form:
•a. Pharyngeal contraction
•b. Hyo-Laryngeal excursion
•c. Residue in the valleculae
•d. Residue in the pyriform sinuses
•e. Tongue-to-palate closure
•f. Crico-pharyngeal function
•4. Are able to follow minimum of one stage instructions

•1. Adults with previous swallowing difficulty prior to the stroke
•2. Adults with other diagnosed neurological disorders
•3. Adults undergoing head/neck radiotherapy, due to poor skin/tissue tenderness
•4. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding (cannot participate in videofluoroscopic swallowing studies, and therefore cannot ascertain therapeutic program)
