What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a combined swallowing intervention (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) + Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) + swallowing exercises) on swallowing function and quality of life in post-stroke dysphagia patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does the combination of swallowing exercises, NMES \& NMT have a greater improvement in dysphagia rehabilitation when compared to either NMES or NMT alone? Researchers will compare the effects of intervention between the three groups (NMES and swallowing exercises, NMT and swallowing exercises, and NMES with NMT and swallowing exercises). Participants will: * Receive a combined dysphagia rehabilitation comprised of swallowing exercises, Neuromuscular Electrical stimulation, and/or Neuromuscular Taping. * Visit the clinic once every 5 days a week for 10 therapy sessions. * Undergo baseline and post-intervention evaluation procedures.
