Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) may affect respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory
failure. Studies show that long-term noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) improves …

This review examines the evidence regarding the clinical and neurophysiological
differences between voluntary and spontaneous swallows. From the clinical point of view …

Objective To test a novel intervention to train swallowing to occur in the midexpiratory to low
expiratory phase of quiet breathing to improve swallowing safety and efficiency. Design …

Purpose: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular
disorder causing weakness of the skeletal, respiratory, cardiac and oropharyngeal muscles …

The functional significance of cross-system neural control on respiratory–swallowing
coordination is far from understood. Preliminary data, however, show destabilization of …

BACKGROUND: Respiratory complications represent the major cause of death in
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Noninvasive respiratory support is the mainstay therapy …

Conventional mechanical ventilators rely on pneumatic pressure and flow sensors and
controllers to detect breaths. New modes of mechanical ventilation have been developed to …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of bolus holding on respiratory–
swallow coordination (RSC) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Method: People with …

Co‐ordination of breathing and swallowing is essential for normal pharyngeal function and
to protect the airway. To allow for safe passage of a bolus through the pharynx, respiration is …

Objective Neurogenic dysphagia (ND) is a prevalent condition that accounts for significant
mortality and morbidity worldwide. Screening and follow-up are critical for early diagnosis …
