Chewing and Oral Processing of Solid Food in Healthy Swallowing
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Food texture modification for Dysphagia. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Food texture modification is commonly used as an intervention for people with dysphagia (swallowing impairment). However, the field currently lacks a proper understanding of how this intervention works. The overall goal of this project was to collect measurements of food bolus transit through the oropharynx (i.e., mouth and throat) during chewing, oral processing and swallowing.
