Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The data on biomechanics of pharyngoesophageal segment during dry and wet swallowing in alaryngeal speakers can be used to identify swallowing issues post operatively in routine clinical setting through a simple non-invasive radiation-freebiomechanics study.This method can be used for screening purpose and for early diagnosis of swallowing issues. Findings of this study would help in planning client specific interventions as well as for further documenting their progress.Timepoint: 1 | — |
