SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The patents and patent applications intended for licensure disclose or cover a system, device and method for rehabilitating dysphagia due to stroke, ex-tubation or coronary bypass surgery. Swallowing recovery alleviates the risk of aspiration by augmenting volitional control using a simultaneous motor act (e.g., such as pressing a button to indicate when they are ready to swallow). It is believed that such motor training also initiates sensory stimulation, immediately preceding the motor act and that such sensory stimulation enhances excitation of a central pattern generator in the brain stem that augments the volitional PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Status Expired. Expired. Expired. Expired. Expired. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. control of swallowing. This principle is applicable to other neurological impairments; their associated enhancement of voluntary motor act control by the patient initiating immediately concurrent and related sensory stimulations. Neurological impairments that are contemplated include reflex actions involving interactions between afferent and efferent paths (at the spinal cord or in the brain stem) as well as higher order interactions. This invention includes methods for treating neurologically impaired humans using devices such as those that produce vibratory stimulation, pressure stimulation, auditory stimulation, temperature stimulation, visual stimulation, olfactory stimulation, taste stimulation, or a combination of these. Upon activation a vibrator moves and vibrates the larynx. Patients can initiate sensory stimulation immediately prior to the patient’s own initiation of a swallow. E:\FR\FM\07DEN1.SGM 07DEN1
