INTRODUCTION: Failure of the cricopharyngeus to relax results in oropharyngeal dysphagia, which over time results in hypertrophy and increased risk for aspiration. Open myotomy is one definitive treatment option, however there are several drawbacks a...

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. Dysphagia is primarily diagnosed and characterized by instrumental swallowin...
The hyoid bone excursion is one of the most important gauges of larynx elevation in swallowing, contributing to airway protection and bolus passage into the esophagus. However, the implications of various parameters of hyoid bone excursion, such as t...
BACKGROUND: Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is currently considered the gold standard to precisely diagnose and quantitatively investigate dysphagia. However, VFSS interpretation is complex and requires consideration of several factors. The...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic dysphagia, a swallowing disorder caused by sarcopenia, is prevalent in older patients and can cause malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. This study aimed to develop a simple screening test using image recognition with a low r...
(1) Background: Ultrasound provides a radiation-free and portable method for assessing swallowing. Hyoid bone locations and displacements are often used as important indicators for the evaluation of swallowing disorders. However, this requires clinic...
Soft robotic systems are well suited for developing devices for biomedical applications. A bio-mimicking robotic soft esophagus (RoSE) is developed as an testing device of endoprosthetic stents for dysphagia management. Endoprosthetic stent placemen...
High resolution cervical auscultation is a very promising noninvasive method for dysphagia screening and aspiration detection, as it does not involve the use of harmful ionizing radiation approaches. Automatic extraction of swallowing events in cervi...
Background and Purpose- The aim of this study was to explore clinical and radiological prognostic factors for long-term swallowing recovery in patients with poststroke dysphagia and to develop and validate a prognostic model using a machine learning ...
