"I guess you're not going to see an ENT anymore," his SLP told him.

🥹Those 10 words changed everything for Kadir - a man who developed Tapia Syndrome after jaw surgery.

Tapia syndrome is a rare nerve injury involving cranial nerves X and XII that causes tongue deviation, poor voice quality, swallowing problems, and sometimes airway compromise.

Kadir's medical team began discussing Botox injection and/or balloon dilatation to relax his UES so he could swallow without aspirating.

🫷But his SLP, Fatma, had another idea.

She started ESP immediately and continued through his recovery.

Day by day, session by session, his swallowing mechanics began to change.

As you can see in the second MBS, Kadir achieved what physicians thought could ONLY be achieved with needles, balloons, and Botox...

Improved swallowing and airway protection - with recommendations for no more NGT and a modified diet!

From facing invasive procedures to eating safely again - that's the power of knowing when and how to intervene.

Behind every success story is a clinician who refused to accept that invasive procedures were the only option.

Are you ready to be THAT clinician?

When jaw surgery goes wrong, but your dysphagia therapy goes VERY right👏

Fatma, an Ampcare-certified SLP (who ALSO holds a degree in physical therapy AND is our trainer in Türkiye!), shared a case that had everyone talking ... including the surgeons.

A 42-year-old man went in for jaw realignment surgery August 2024.

What should have been straightforward turned into Tapia syndrome: a rare nerve injury most people have never heard of.

His medical team was preparing for more procedures, Botox injections, balloon dilation.

Instead of more surgery, he got 8 ESP sessions with Fatma🙌

Ya know what happened?
His NG tube was removed, he’s eating purees and thin liquids, and doctors are asking how they can get MORE Ampcare devices in their facility!

From facing additional procedures to eating again, that’s what happens when you have the right intervention at the right time.

Sometimes the most complex cases teach us the most about what’s possible.

When the hyoid bone lets you down... 💔

We've all been there.

👀Watching an MBS where the hyoid barely budges and the patient aspirates on everything you throw at them.

But what if we told you that Ampcare's Effective Swallowing Protocol (ESP) gives the hyoid a head start, and researchers proved it?

Arslan et al 2018 studied 30 healthy adults using an error-based learning paradigm with ESP.

👇Here's what they discovered:
"Submental surface electrical stimulation significantly changed the starting position of the hyoid bone just prior to swallow onset (more anterior; p = .003)."

How much? Even at low intensity levels, the hyoid moved approximately 20% closer to its peak swallowing point.

Instead of starting from a disadvantaged position, the hyoid gets a boost toward where it needs to be for airway protection.

This wasn't Ampcare-funded research, this was independent scientists at Johns Hopkins proving that ESP creates an advantageous starting position for swallowing.

So the next time you see limited hyolaryngeal excursion on MBS, remember: ESP doesn't just strengthen muscles during treatment.

It actually repositions the hyoid to give patients a better chance at safe swallowing.

And over time, when paired with resistance exercises, the hyoid bone no longer "fails" us!

THIS is what Ampcare is all about🙌

We founded Ampcare's ESP for people like Paul, who was told "there's nothing else we can do."

Yes, founded for families desperately searching for hope when traditional options have been exhausted.

We didn't just want to create another device... we wanted to give clinicians the tools to restore what matters most: the ability to swallow safely, speak clearly, and live fully.

Paul's transformation in just 4 weeks isn't just a success story; it's proof that innovative rehabilitation can change everything. It's validation of every late night we spent perfecting our protocol, every research study we conducted, every detail we refined.

THIS is why we wake up every day. This is why we push the boundaries of what's possible in swallowing rehabilitation. Because everyone deserves the chance to eat dinner with their family, to have conversations that matter, to feel human again.💙

Thank you to Rose Speech Therapy, Paul, and his family for sharing this incredible journey with us. It reminds us that our mission isn't just about technology, it's about giving people their lives back.

This is a UNIQUE STORY told by Tiffany Spurlin, an Ampcare-certified SLP!

Tiffany worked with a 3-year-old patient born with situs inversus totalis, a rare condition in which all major organs are arranged in a mirror image of expected anatomy.

Meaning her heart is on the right, her liver on the left, and her thoracic and abdominal organs were flipped.

But that was just the beginning of her medical complexity.

This little girl also...
👉Was born without a spleen
👉Battled two intestinal blockages
👉Had her appendix removed
👉Stayed 2-3 months in the NICU on a ventilator
👉Required oxygen her first 3 months

For three years, she battled constant respiratory issues: a persistent raspy cough, upper respiratory infections, and breathing problems that kept everyone focused on her lungs.

Then a pulmonologist ordered an MBSS. She was silently aspirating on thin liquids. For three years, liquids had been quietly slipping into her airway undetected.

That's when Tiffany came in with Ampcare's Effective Swallowing Protocol (ESP)!

After 12 weeks of ESP (24 sessions), the repeat swallow study showed no aspiration. The same child who required nectar-thick liquids was now safely taking "huge gulps of thin liquids."

Sometimes the most complex cases teach us that effective treatment transcends anatomy. ESP targets the fundamental mechanics of airway protection during swallowing.

How many fingers did you put down?!

If you work in dysphagia, you know these moments all too well.

The early morning chart checks. The self-doubt. The weight of responsibility when someone's airway is on the line.

But...ya know what?

These feelings don't mean you're not good enough or that you're a "bad" SLP.

They actually mean you care deeply about your patients!

Every dysphagia SLP has been there - questioning recommendations, celebrating small victories, lying awake thinking about the patient who isn't improving.

You're not alone in this work. And you don't have to carry it alone.

Whether it's having evidence-based tools that give you confidence, or a community that understands the weight you carry, support matters.

Drop a 🙋♀️ in the comments if you relate to any of these!

We love a celebratory hug... especially when it's a repeat MBS and the patient's swallow looks PERFECT after completing several weeks of Ampcare's Effective Swallowing Therapy!

Radiologists, on the other hand... 😅

We hear these "repeat MBS victory" stories ALL the time from our Ampcare-certified clinicians.

The pattern is remarkably consistent:
🔴Initial MBS shows significant aspiration
🔴Patient completes 4-8 weeks of ESP
🔴Repeat MBS reveals dramatic improvements in hyolaryngeal excursion and airway protection
🔴SLPs try (and fail) to contain their excitement

And when the radiologist is right there, supporting best practice and celebrating patient progress, it makes those wins just that. much. sweeter.

So here's our shoutout to all the radiologists who support our assessment protocols, understand why we need that AP view, perform the esophageal sweep, and will patiently try multiple consistencies even after a little pe*******on.

They might not share our enthusiasm for hyolaryngeal excursion (or our desire for celebratory hugs), but their expertise and partnership make these transformations possible.

And the answer is...

If you chose D, then you, my friend, are a WINNER!

Or at least a pretty dang sharp SLP!

The platysma definitely didn't get a ton of air time in grad school, but when it comes to NMES, it's important to understand.

This muscle is like a sheet that covers the other muscles in the neck. It sits superficially in your neck (closest to the skin, farthest from the airway) and runs from your clavicle region to your chin, where it inserts into the lower border of the mandible.

Now, why do we care? Does it have anything to do with swallowing?

Well, no... BUT!

When we're considering using NMES on our patients, it's important to understand what muscles you can reach with the stimulation and be mindful of what muscles (or other structures) you have to go THROUGH to get to the ones you want to stimulate.

The electrical current doesn't cherry-pick. While our technology is remarkable, we can't tell the current to skip this muscle or that one and head straight to the hyolaryngeal muscles.

It will stimulate everything from point A (the electrode) to point B (ideally the suprahyoid muscles.) Therefore, if you're doing true NMES, you must see a contraction of the platysma if you plan on targeting deeper musculature.

So, if you've ever been taught that you can stimulate muscles that are considerably deep in the neck (like maybe in the pharynx,) this is a little lesson to keep in mind.

Before this post, had you heard of the platysma? Let us know in the comments!
