A previous study in the journal Dysphagia estimated that 15% of seniors have trouble swallowing. Muscles in the throat can lose mass and function with age, just like muscles in other parts of the body. Supplement Pills Can Pose Choking Risk for Seniors, Study Finds When the EMG signal amplit...
Establishing and validating efficient dysphagia-optimised radiotherapy techniques is, therefore, of paramount importance in an era where health-related quality of life measures are increasingly influential determinants of curative management strategies, particularly as the incidence of good prognosis, human ...
This swallow apnea is highly coordinated with breathing and is crucial for safe swallowing. Many diseases, disorders, and conditions, especially neurologic in origin, can compromise timely airway protection and result in dysphagia. As such, it is crucial that the clinician has the appropriate back...
Swallowing, or the act of swallowing, is a function that is often taken for granted, just like breathing. It's only when this function is compromised that we realize how crucial it is for us to have a normal ability to swallow.Dysphagia, the difficulty in swallowing, involves a...

, but the management of dysphagia in older adults should be considered as a continuum of care from the intensive care unit to the outpatient multidisciplinary clinic. In order to establish a framework for the management of swallowing in older adults, clinicians must work collaboratively with a ...
Recent technological advances in manometry, including solid state transducers and computerized analysis, allows for reliable interpretation of intraluminal pharyngeal pressures. Simultaneous videoradiography (barium swallow) provides flu... R Olsson,H Nilsson,O Ekberg - 《Dysphagia》 被引量: 63发表: 1995...
Conclusion: A range of diseases associated with dysphagia can be found in patients. Two often used diagnostic methods are barium swallow and rigid esophagoscopy. Both Barium swallow and Rigid esophagoscopy are successful in the diagnosis of oesophagal cancer. The use of a ...
As one of the first techniques to emerge in the management of the patient with swallowing impairment, the effortful swallow technique provides an excellent example of how our thinking has evolved in this area of clinical practice. This chapter will summarize the literature related to the ...
Rehabilitative techniques for dysphagia (swallowing impairment) increasingly employ exercise modeled on methods used to train muscles in sports medicine. Three techniques in particular show promise for improving muscle strength and function related to swallowing: the Shaker exercise, expiratory muscle strength...
