Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The data on biomechanics of dry swallow in alaryngeal speakers can be used identify swallowing problems post operatively in routine clinical situations through a non-invasive simple biomechanics study. This method can be used for screening purposes and early diagnostics of dysphagia. Findings would also be useful to clinicians in monitoring the progress in swallowing therapy.
