Gastro-oesophageal reflux is associated with a wide range of respiratory disorders,
including asthma, isolated chronic cough, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive …

Deficits of airway protection can have deleterious effects to health and quality of life.
Effective airway protection requires a continuum of behaviors including swallowing and …

Rationale: During deglutition, a strongly preferred exhale–swallow–exhale pattern has been
shown in healthy adults. Disruption of this pattern can provoke prandial aspiration. Impaired …

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of inspiratory/expiratory muscle training (IEMT) and
neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to improve dysphagia in stroke. Design …

Airway protections is the prevention and/or removal of material by behaviors such as cough
and swallow. We hypothesized these behaviors are coordinated to respond to aspiration …

Despite centuries of investigation, questions and controversies remain regarding the
fundamental genesis and motor pattern of swallow. Two significant topics include inspiratory …

Purpose Airway protective disorders are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet effective
methods to rehabilitate these life-threatening impairments are limited. This study examined …

This review article provides an overview of the physiology and biomechanics of food oral
processing, with a wider view towards the development of wellness foods that facilitate …

Swallowing and breathing utilize common muscles and an anatomical passage: the
pharynx. The risk of aspiration of ingested material is minimized not only by the laryngeal …

This study was designed to investigate the significance of bolus types and volumes, delivery
methods and swallowing instructions on lung volume at swallowing initiation in normal …
