This study will investigate the feasibility of delivering swallowing therapy using surface electromyography as a means of biofeedback to patients with dysphagia in the acute stroke setting. It will investigate trends in efficacy by comparing biofeedback therapy to usual care. The results will inform future dosing and efficacy studies.

| Usual Care | Behavioral | Usual care may include the following Speech and Language Therapy interventions; assessment, review, therapy, patient/family education etc.. Dose will vary. |
|
Functional Oral Intake Scale - 7 point scale from 1-7. Higher number indicated increased amount and normality of oral intake.
| Pre and post 3 week intervention intervention and at 90 days |
| Change in Swallow physiology - PAS | Videofluoroscopy assessment to measure swallow safety with regards to penetration/aspiration using the Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS). 8 point scale. The higher the number the increase in penetration/aspiration. | Pre and post 2 week intervention |
| Change in swallow physiology - timing | Videofluoroscopy assessment to measure timing of swallow physiology | Pre and post 2 week intervention |
| Quality of life | Dysphagia Handicap Index | Pre and post 2 week intervention and at 90 days |
| Change in Clinical outcomes - disability | Disability - using the Modified Rankin scale. Scale from 0-6 with higher numbers signifying increased disability | Pre and post 2 week intervention and at 90 days. |
| Change in Clinical outcomes - stroke severity | Stroke severity - NIHSS. Scale from 0-42. Increased number means increase in stroke severity. | Pre and post 2 week intervention |
| Change in Clinical outcomes - tube status | Feeding tube status | Pre and post 2 week intervention and at 90 days. |
| Change in Clinical outcomes - mortality | Mortality | Pre and post 2 week intervention and at 90 days. |
