Cross-System Integration of Respiration and Deglutition: Function, Treatment, and Future Directions

open access: yesDysphagia (New York. Print), 2022
Swallowing occurs preferentially in the expiratory phase of the quiet breathing cycle and at mid-to-low tidal volume. This coordinative pattern imparts important biomechanical advantages to swallowing and airway protection and facilitate laryngeal ...

Using Classical Test Theory to Determine the Psychometric Properties of the Deglutition Handicap Index

open access: yesDysphagia (New York. Print), 2021
The Deglutition Handicap Index (DHI) is a self-report measure for patients at risk of oropharyngeal dysphagia on deglutition-related aspects of functional health status (FHS) and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). The DHI consists of 30 items which
