IOPI Medical TRAINER

Evidence exists to show that tongue exercise in dysphagia patients, as documented with the IOPI, can lead to improved swallowing outcomes. The IOPI allows the clinician to use protocols that have been proven to work in exercise science. The clinician sets the target pressure on the IOPI’s biofeedback light array and instructs the patient to squeeze the bulb until they turn the top green light on. The patient is visually reinforced for hitting their target.
