Botulinum toxin for upper oesophageal sphincter dysfunction in neurological swallowing disorders
(2012)Background: Adequate upper oesophageal sphincter (UOS) opening is critical to safe and efficient swallowing due to the close proximity of the UOS to the airway entrance. Many people with neurological conditions, progressive ... -
Impact of Sensory Stimulation on Pharyngo-esophageal Swallowing Biomechanics in Adults with Dysphagia: A High-Resolution Manometry Study
(2020)Evidence supporting sensory stimulation of swallowing is based mostly on videofluoroscopy and provides little insight into changes to swallowing physiology. In this study, the impact of sensory stimulation on pharyngo-esophageal ... -
Inter-rater Reliability of the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS): Effects of Clinical Experience, Audio-Recording and Training
(2017)The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) is widely used to measure dysphagia severity based on videofluoroscopy (VFSS). This study investigated inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the DOSS. It also determined the effect ... -
Interventions for Feeding and Swallowing Disorders in Adults with Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review of the Evidence
(2020)Feeding and swallowing disorders are prevalent in adults with Intellectual Disability (ID) and can potentially lead to discomfort, malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration, and choking. Most common interventions ... -
Interventions for oropharyngeal dysphagia in acute and critical care: A systematic review and meta analysis
(2020)Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of dysphagia interventions compared to standard care in improving oral intake and reducing aspiration for adults in acute and critical care. Methods: We searched electronic ... -
New measures of upper esophageal sphincter distensibility and opening patterns during swallowing in healthy subjects using EndoFLIP?.
(2013)Background: This paper aims to measure upper esophageal sphincter (UES) distensibility and extent and duration of UES opening during swallowing in healthy subjects using EndoFLIP®. Methods: Fourteen healthy subjects ... -
The Use of Modified Diets by adults with Temporomandibular Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2018)Statement of the Problem: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most frequently reported non-dental orofacial pain disorders. Pain and dysfunction of the jaw joint and masticatory muscles may result in individuals ... -
Use of Pharyngeal High-Resolution Manometry to Evaluate Dysphagia in Adults with Motor Neurone Disease: A Scoping Review
(2022)There has been a recent shift towards proactive dysphagia intervention in motor neurone disease (MND) to maintain physiological reserve. Pharyngeal high-resolution manometry (PHRM) can quantify swallowing pathophysiology ...
