SURVEY

Collection of myofunctional Exercises

This survey is needed for an efficient working with the exercise collection as it is quite impossible to assign an exercise to a certain system. - A system is called here a reaction unit consisting of control centre / conduction / executing muscle. - The allocation to an individual disorder is as well meeting difficulties. This is due to the fact that exercises may be executed in different Modi and, thus, serve different purposes. These Modi are described in chapters which contain the definition of TIMING.
And this fact, again seems to make it necessary that in special chapters the contents is directed towards principal issues.
For this reason there are three different kinds of chapters:
          I. Chapters dealing with the nomenclature, with terms and definitions, the therapy and its philosophy or its structure.
         II. Chapters which will guide the searchers in the search of specific exercises for specific systems and disorders. These chapters at first describe the special fact, state or characteristic of this group of disorders and after that a list of exercises fitting to this kind of impairment.
        III. Chapters describing the actual exercises. These are always divided into the same scheme of paragraphs and thus visible at a glance. The exercises carry a non-scientific name as their heading as it is mostly found in literature, which is easily communicable to the patient and quite vivid but rather without some functional meaning for the therapist.

In the follow, now, the two general groups I and II will be described, the related exercises allocated in an alphabetical order and annotated with links to the respective chapters.

This chapter contains the discussion about the term definition and about the importance of this term for therapy in the daily clinic routine
SWALLOW-MECHANISM(general)

The description in the paragraph “Discussion” is practically taking apart the reflex chain in a biomechanical view of the succession of steps in the single links
