MEDICAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT RETURNABLE. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Chin Tuck Against Resistance is a swallowing therapeutic technique employing a small ball held until the chin. Using resistance therapeutic exercise, the patient repeats the exercise to increase the strength of the throat muscles. The size of the CTAR Ball can be decreased by letting out a small amount of air or enlarged by adding air. The user's body size will determine this. The CTAR technique was developed based on research by Yoon WL et al. (2014), “New Method For Enhancing Suprahyoid Activity Using a Shaker-type Exercise”. Use of CTAR trainng should be combined with standard swallowing treatment. For patients, please consult your physician, medical provider or therapist before purchasing.
