Abstract

Compensatory strategies are intended to improve the swallowing in an immediate but temporary manner. Usually, they do not involve the strengthening of the musculature. Most often, food is involved while carrying out these techniques and hence termed “direct.” There are mainly three compensatory strategies: (1) postural modification, (2) diet modifications (texture and volume modifications), and (3) sensory enhancements.
