Get Started:

Cerebrovascular accidents can result in a number of debilitating conditions, leaving victims unable to speak, read, write, or swallow properly. Muscle paralysis on one or both sides of the patient''s throat can create an obstruction and affect the patient''s ability to swallow properly. This inability to swallow normally can affect stroke victims'' speech, breathing patterns, sleep, and ability to eat or drink.

Improving swallowing ability is an important focus of cerebrovascular accident recovery. Speech pathology professionals work with a stroke rehabilitation team to assist the stroke patient to become as independent as possible in communicating and swallowing. Cerebrovascular accident victims are typically referred for speech and language evaluation as well as swallowing evaluation while in the acute care setting or hospital. Depending upon the severity of the problem, cerebrovascular accident victims may be transferred to inpatient rehabilitation where they will receive intervention, or they may be seen on an outpatient basis to receive therapy for their swallowing and speech problems.

Generally, speech pathology professionals work with victims of cerebrovascular accidents to improve muscle control and coordination in the throat. A series of specialized exercises allows stroke victims to recover as much use of the throat as soon as possible after the cerebrovascular accident.
