VHCC receives
revolutionary treatment for dysphagia
Versailles Health Care Center has been chosen by its parent company,
Covenant Care, to trial the Synchrony™ Dysphagia Solutions by ACP, a
comprehensive system combining evidence-based protocols, advanced
therapist training, revolutionary new sEMG Biofeedback system, and
ACP’s proven “PENS” e-stim technology. Dysphagia impacts the
health and quality of life for millions of Americans. Versailles
Health Care Center’s Speech-Language Pathologists now have a
revolutionary new tool to improve patient outcomes and recently
received training from Accelerated Care Plus on this new system.
Unlike any other dysphagia rehabilitation solution available,
Synchrony™ enables Speech-Language Pathologists and patients to
literally “See the Swallow” using virtual reality augmented sEMG
biofeedback. This important capability helps Speech-Language
Pathologists evaluate the specific dynamics of a normal, effortful or
Mendelsohn swallow in real time, while guiding a series of therapeutic
exercise activities that are engaging and fun for patients. While
“immersed” in these virtual reality augmented activities, exercise
intensity and duration are enhanced for superior treatment outcomes.
Speech-Language Pathologists are also able to capture objective
measurement data with this unique system to demonstrate treatment
progression and strengthen documentation.
“We’re extremely pleased and excited to receive this new tool,” said
Facility Rehab Director, Shannon Condon, SLP. “We believe that it
will truly increase our patients’ quality of life. Our therapy team
provides tremendous therapy services for our patients and they are
always looking to add the latest advances in the industry to care for
our patients.”
If you have any questions about the Synchrony™ Dysphagia Solutions by
ACP, please contact Shannon Condon at 937.526-0130.
