Swallowing test decisions: how residue amount and location matter
This study looks at how speech-language pathologists make decisions when reviewing swallowing tests (FEES). It aims to understand if the amount and location of leftover food or liquid in the throat affects their clinical choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a speech-language pathologist (SLP).
- You have at least one year of experience performing FEES (a test that uses a camera to watch swallowing).
- You are not a speech pathologist or have less than one year of FEES experience, you cannot participate.
