Objective: Dysphagia management relies on the evaluation of the temporospatial kinematic
events of swallowing performed in videofluoroscopy (VF) by trained clinicians. The upper …

Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of
the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high …

Dysphagia occurs secondary to a variety of underlying etiologies and can contribute to
increased risk of adverse events such as aspiration pneumonia and premature mortality …

Purpose: Traditionally, kinematic measures on videofluoroscopy require the use of an
external scalar (such as a penny) to transform pixels to absolute distances …

Abstract Introduction To validate the Group for Learning Useful and Performant Swallowing
(GLUPS), a clinical tool dedicated to videofluoroscopy swallowing study (VFSS). Methods …

Dysphagia or swallowing dysfunction is any impairment in the swallowing function that may
cause difficulty or discomfort in initiating or transferring the bolus from the oral cavity into the …

Swallowing is a complex process that takes place using various muscles and cranial nerves
across three phases: the oral phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. For …
