Are you using simple outcome measures to track dysphagia rehab progress?

Alongside BiSSkApp’s remote tracking, our clinical team recommend two quick, practical bedside assessments:
• Timed Water Swallow Test (TWST)
• Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS)

They’re fast, repeatable, and give you objective signals of change over time, without needing imaging.
Curious how others are tracking progress in low-access settings? Compare approaches in the comments! 👇

Btw - for TOMASS, the type of cracker and norms vary depending on your region.

On Swallowing Awareness Day, our Founder Dr Maggie-Lee Huckabee reminds us why this work matters.

Dysphagia is still underreported, undertreated, and too often not taken seriously. Too many people are left managing symptoms instead of receiving real treatment – leading to isolation, serious health risks, and even death.

Chances are, you personally know someone affected.
So let’s start talking about it!

Many people with dysphagia have neurological conditions that can affect coordination, timing, or motor planning – not just muscle strength 🧠

In those cases, strengthening exercises may not address the real underlying problem. And in some situations, they can even make rehabilitation less effective.

Patients may:
• fatigue quickly
• struggle to complete therapy
• spend months strengthening muscles, when that was never the underlying issue

Because swallowing isn’t just about force. It’s about precision.

Swallowing is a complex motor skill controlled by the brain – and like any skill, it may need to be retrained, not just strengthened.

Strength training still has an important role. But the real challenge for clinicians is identifying what type of impairment they’re treating.

If your swallow isn’t showing up clearly on the screen when using sEMG… it could be your sensor placement 👀

Using our BiSSkApp sensor is easy — and a couple of quick prep steps will help you get good signal quality and an accurate swallow representation on screen 🖥

Our Software Engineer Cam shows you exactly how to prepare your skin, plus what to check if your signal isn’t behaving the way it should.

Using a bolus during swallow exercises can be helpful to support functional carryover to eating and drinking. However, BiSSkApp is designed to be used with saliva swallows – a dry swallow.

Clinician Specialist Anneke explains why this distinction matters – and how using BiSSkApp supports safe, targeted rehabilitation.
