Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The data on biomechanics of wet swallowing in alaryngeal speakers can be used to identify swallowing problems post operatively in routine clinical situations through a simple radiation free noninvasive biomechanics study . Thus , method can be used for screening purpose and early diagnostics of swallowing issues .Findings of the study would help in planning client specific intervention programme and further documenting the progress. Timepoint: ONE TIME , 1 st January 2019- 20 th January 2019
