Swallowing intervention protocols in dysphagia do not specify the parameters of the exercises, namely the duration, frequency and number of series, all of which present a challenge in speech therapy intervention in swallowing disorders. The purpose of this review is to provide Speech and Language Pathologists with background information concerning crucial muscle fibres used in swallowing therapy and to subsequently indicate appropriate skull-cervical-oral muscle exercises. We describe the primary muscle and its characteristics such as fatigue resistance and contraction speed, review the types of fibres of some of the main muscles that participate in the swallowing process, and present the particularities of the muscles of the cranio-cervica...
