SpletThere is a lack of clinical test methods appropriate in the subacute phase of recovery from dysphagia following stroke and other brain injuries. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of a new test battery, called the Swallow Battery (SwaB), in relation to Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). SpletClinical swallow evaluation: Test to assess how well the patient can swallow various foods and liquids; Fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES): Minimally invasive procedure that involves passing an endoscope (narrow, flexible tube) through the mouth to evaluate movement inside the throat while swallowing;

The second part of the FEES test is when food is introduced. Here your swallowing will be assessed with different textures and sizes of food and liquid. SpletWhat is a FEES assessment?

The camera is long, thin and flexible and will be passed through the nose so that a clear view of the throat can be seen. pinel tout savoir
