The target population is patients with abnormal UES function who present with post‐swallow pharyngeal residue and aspiration. An isotonic and isometric head‐raising exercise regimen in the supine position is performed three times a day for a six‐week period [89, 90]. The desired effect is an increase in the cross‐sectional area of the UES opening by strengthening the traction forces of the suprahyoid muscles responsible for UES opening, thus improving pharyngeal clearance and eliminating aspiration.
