This one-day course provides an introduction to the interpretation of videofluoroscopic images in the diagnosis and treatment of adults with acquired dysphagia.
You'll view a range of videofluoroscopic swallow studies and look at:
normal adult swallowing
how swallowing changes with ageing
swallowing in adults with a variety of neurological and head and neck diagnoses
You'll also discuss therapeutic techniques for the management of dysphagia.
If you have videotapes of your own videofluorographic studies, you're welcome to bring these for the group to review, time permitting.
