Background: Swallowing impairment (dysphagia) and tracheostomy coexist. Research in this area has often provided an overview of dysphagia management as a whole, but there is limited information pertaining to specific dysphagia therapy in the tracheostomy population. The aim of this scoping review is to provide a detailed exploration of the…

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is amongst the 10 most common cancers worldwide and has a major effect on patients' quality of life. Given the complexity of this unique group of patients, a multidisciplinary team approach is preferable. Amongst the debilitating sequels of HNC and/or its treatment, swallowing, speech and voice impairments…

Sella-Weiss, Oshrat – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Texture-modified foods (TMF) is a common intervention for improving swallowing safety and efficiency for people with dysphagia. Non-standardized texture classification (NSTC) of foods is used worldwide. However, as this study documents, it can introduce a lack of clarity and confusion over definitions that can potentially harm…

Background: Ultrasound visual biofeedback (UVBF) has the potential to be useful for the treatment of compensatory errors in speakers with cleft palate ± lip (CP±L), but there is little research on its effectiveness, or on how acceptable families find the technique. This study reports on parents' and children's perspectives on taking part in a…

Badesha, Maneetpal; Thayanantha, Abiramy; Shune, Samantha; Namasivayam-MacDonald, Ashwini – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Previous research has demonstrated that many caregivers of care recipients with communication and swallowing impairments suffer from caregiver burden. Existing research sheds light on the presence of burden and various predicting factors, but little information on interventions to reduce caregiver burden. Aims: To determine how…

Pu, Dai; Yao, Theresa Jingyun – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Swallowing function can become impaired due to primary medical conditions or age-related presbyphagia, resulting in swallowing disorders, known as dysphagia. Specific manoeuvres that target different musculature have been innovated and researched, but whole-body exercises (WBE) that target multiple large groups of body systems and…

Meredith L. Baker-Rush; Michelle Zemsky Dineen; Erin T. Kaseda – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) perform nasal laryngoscopy (LE) to assess voice and dysphagia-related disorders. The procedural aspects may include the use of topical nasal anaesthesia. Aims: To explore the practice patterns of American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)-certified SLPs use of anaesthesia during laryngeal…

Viviers, Mari; Edwards, Louise; Asir, Maya; Hibberd, Judi; Rowe, Rebecca; Phillips, Sophie; Thomas, Victoria; Keesing, Melissa; Sugar, Analou; Allen, Jodi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has renewed interest in the use of ultrasound (US) amongst dysphagia-trained clinicians working with infants and children. US is a portable, minimally intrusive tool which carries reduced risk of aerosol-generation provoked by other instrumental swallowing assessment tools such as…

Todaro, Francesca; Pizzorni, Nicole; Scarponi, Letizia; Ronzoni, Clara; Huckabee, Maggie-Lee; Schindler, Antonio – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS) is an international standardized swallowing assessment tool. However, its psychometric characteristics have not been analysed in patients with dysphagia. Aims: To analyse TOMASS's (1) inter- and intra-rater reliability in a clinical population of patients with dysphagia, (2)…

Dumican, Matthew; Thijs, Zoe; Harper, Kaitlynn – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Purpose: To identify how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the United States are screening for and identifying dysphagia. To do this, we examined the approaches most often used to screen for dysphagia and the influence of contextual factors such as setting, continuing education and means of staying up to date with the most current literature…
