Background Although modifying diets, by thickening liquids and modifying the texture of
foods, to reduce the risk of aspiration has become central to the current management of …

Purpose: Practice pattern studies suggest that liquid modification is currently a primary
strategy used by speech-language pathologists to manage dysphagia; however, the breadth …

Background Use of modified texture diets—thickening of liquids and modifying the texture of
foods—in the hope of preventing aspiration, pneumonia and choking, has become central to …

There is an increasing proof of the relevance of rheology on the design of fluids for the
diagnosis and management of dysphagia. In this sense, different authors have reported …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate people's experiences of living with
dysphagia after stroke, and their experiences of dysphagia management. Methods: The …

Purpose: The intervention of thickened liquids (TL) is commonly used to reduce aspiration in
people with dysphagia. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have traditionally believed it …

Purpose Persons with neurodegenerative disease frequently develop comorbid dysphagia
as part of their disease process. Current “reactive” approaches to dysphagia management …

Dysphagia is frequent after stroke, and it increases the risk of respiratory infection,
dehydration and malnutrition, resulting in worse outcomes. Different clinical guidelines …

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a well-established framework for supporting clinical
decision making in the discipline of speech-language pathology. The benefits of using …

While awaiting further research, clinical decision-making about thickened liquids can be
