The hyoid bone displacement and rotation are critical kinematic events of the swallowing process in the assessment of videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS). However, the quantitative analysis of such events requires frame-by-frame manual annotatio...
Breathing temporarily pauses during swallowing, and the occurrence of inspiration before and after these pauses may increase the likelihood of aspiration, a serious health problem in older adults. Therefore, the automatic detection of these pauses wi...

Swallowing is a pivotal physiological function for human sustenance and hydration. Dysfunctions, termed dysphagia, necessitate prompt and precise diagnosis. Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) remain the gold standard for swallowing assessmen...
Dysphagia, a disorder affecting the ability to swallow, has a high prevalence among the older adults and can lead to serious health complications. Therefore, early detection of dysphagia is important. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a newly...
Soft robots spark a revolution in human-machine interaction. However, developing high-performance soft actuators remains challenging due to trade-offs among output force, driving distance, control precision, safety, and compliance. Here, addressing t...

As the global population ages, dysphagia is becoming increasingly common among the elderly, posing serious risks such as choking, aspiration pneumonia, and even death. Leveraging advanced technologies to develop specialized food products for those wi...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Post-stroke dysphagia is highly prevalent and causes complication. While video games have demonstrated potential to increase patient engagement in rehabilitation, their efficacy in stroke patients with dysphagia remains unclear. ...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are mainly evaluated with high-resolution manometry (HRM) which is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure with potential adverse events. Acoustic characterization of the swallowing has the potential to ...
