Foundations for Prescribing Song-Based Therapies: A Quantitative Comparison of Laryngeal Exercises

Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center

Summary

SINGS explores the therapeutic potential of song-based exercises for treating dysphagia in geriatric populations. The project aims to compare the effectiveness of song-based tasks with traditional speech-language pathology (SLP) exercises using advanced tools such as surface electromyography (sEMG) and functional neuroimaging. In addition to quantifying functional activity during therapy, the study will assess patient compliance, satisfaction, and long-term swallowing outcomes, with a focus on improving quality of life through innovative, enjoyable therapies.
