Effect of Oral Neuromuscular Training on Swallowing Function and Time Until Decannulation

In this randomized controlled trial the investigators wish to investigate the effect of an oral neuromuscular training device (called IQoro) on swallowing function and time until decannulation from a tracheostomy tube, in patients admitted for neurorehabilitation due to a severe acquired brain injury.
