push down on larynx to create resistance. Caution should be used with patients who have cardiac demand pacemakers. This maneuver is performed by having the patient hold the larynx up, either using the muscles of the neck or with the hand, during the swallow for an extended period of time. The effortful swallow is thought to increase the volitional load placed on the submental muscles, as evidenced by increased electromyographic (EMG) activation of those muscles during the swallow. 1-4 These negative changes are noted in the perceptual, acoustic, and aerodynamic measures, as well as the voice‐related quality of life of these cancer survivors. After swallowing, residual food and liquid in the mouth and throat are likely to overflow into the unprotected airway and cause what is known as aspiration.

Many things can be the causes of difficulty swallowing symptoms, such as stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, and Huntington's disease. Swallowing problems, if left untreated, can cause weight loss and dehydration.
Conclusion Effortful and Mendelsohn maneuver swallows significantly alter the pharyngoesophageal pressure profile. Submental sEMG and hyoid movement during Mendelsohn maneuver, effortful swallow, and expiratory muscle strength training.
