Brief Summary: Swallowing disorder in stroke patients is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality as it can cause aspiration pneumonia Electrical stimulation has proven to be effective in post-stroke dysphagic patients10 patients who have symptoms of post-stroke dysphagia meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate will be included in the study Included patients will be randomized into 2 groups The exercise program will be applied to both groups as a home program for 4 weeks
Detailed Description: A randomized prospective controlled study will include 10 patients with post-stroke dysphagia Groups will be randomized into 2 groups

1 st group One electrode will be connected to the suprahyoid region and the other electrode will be connected between the thyroid and hyoid cartilages Superficial neuromuscular stimulation will be applied by the physiotherapist at 80 Hz 0-25 µA microampere current range for 20 minutes for 5 days for the patient for a total of 4 weeks At the same time each patient will be taught the exercises included in traditional swallowing treatment and will be advised to practice them for 30 minutes every day
2 nd group Exercises such as progressively resistant oral-facial lingual laryngeal exercises tongue strengthening exercises effortful swallowing maneuver thermaltactile stimulation to oropharyngeal muscles Masako maneuver Mendelson maneuver Shaker maneuver which are included in traditional swallowing treatment will be taught and practiced for 30 minutes will be recommended for one month

Patients dysphagia scales quality of life survey and ultrasonography measurements will be performed before and after treatment

Tests to be applied

Functional Oral Intake Scale FOAS
Swallowing Function Screening Test EAT-10
GUSS Gagging Swallowing Screening Test
Modified Mann Swallowing Ability Assessment Test MMASA
SWAL-QOL The impact of swallowing disorders on quality of life questionnaire
Measurements made by ultrasonography measurement of tongue thickness measurement of hyoid-larynx distance and measurements of other anatomical structures
