Swallowing exercises for stroke patients with trouble swallowing

This trial studies whether using an external throat exerciser helps people with swallowing problems (dysphagia) move food more safely and reduce the risk of choking. You would do swallowing rehab exercises, with the goal of preventing aspiration (food or liquid going into the airway).
