The instrumental assessment looks at functional and structural aspects of swallowing that aren’t visible upon physical examination. It can answer specific questions about the presence and extent of swallow dysfunction, safety for feeding, and the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies.
This review focuses on the maturation of the various physiologic functions implicated in the transport of a bolus from the oral cavity to the stomach. Although infant’s readiness to oral feeding is deemed attained when suck, swallow, and respiration are coordinated, we do not have a clear definition of what coordination implies.
A video swallow study (VSS) captures images of your child's digestive tract while eating and drinking. Learn what happens before, during and after VSS in kids.
22 mar 2006 · Use of the videofluoroscopy swallow study (VFSS), also known as the modified barium swallow (MBS), continues to increase in children. This article reviews the scope and limitations of the examination, explores the current techniques and illustrates some of the main findings.
The modified barium swallow study (MBSS) is a widely used videofluoroscopic evaluation of the functional anatomy and physiology of swallowing that permits visualization of bolus flow throughout the upper aerodigestive tract in real time.
