Dec 13, 2022 · The videofluoroscopic swallow study is an important initial diagnostic study for dysphagia. It demonstrates the dynamic motion of the upper aerodigestive pathway in real-time with the motion of food bolus passing through it. This activity outlines and reviews the role of the healthcare team in managing patients who undergo a swallow study.

But clinical swallow evaluations are still very helpful! They can: Determine the clinical presence of swallowing deficits; Diagnose dysphagia
