Anna E. Lausch, Katelyn R. Lamb, Brent W. Alumbaugh. Department of Kinesiology, Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, Colorado . INTRODUCTION. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare genetic condition which causes weakness of the eyelids and the pharynx. This can affect vision, swallowing, chewing, and talking. These symptoms are exaggerated during and post exercise. Different procedures have been used to improve these symptoms. Esophageal dilation surgery (EDS) involves widening a narrowed area of the esophagus and has been an effective intervention for patients with OPMD. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in swallowing characteristics pre and post exercise in a patient with OPMD prior to and post EDS..
