Purpose: Measurement of swallowing muscle mass is important in determining sarcopenic dysphagia. Ultrasound equipment can measure the cross-sectional area of the swallowing muscles, but the inter-instrument reliability is unknown. In this study, the inter-instrument reliability was investigated. Methods: Three ultrasound devices were used to…

O'Leary, Lisa; Maine, Andrew; Ring, Nicola; Reid, James; Speirs, Lorraine; Allan, Louise; Truesdale, Maria; Taggart, Laurence – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: Dysphagia can have serious health implications including choking and respiratory infection leading to poorer quality of life. People with intellectual disabilities are at higher risk of dysphagia related health complications and early death. Robust dysphagia screening tools are vital for this population. Method: A scoping review and…

Several studies have demonstrated balance impairments in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). However, a recent meta-analysis reports that none of the existing studies investigated the entire construct of balance across the same postural task. It is unclear whether anticipatory postural adjustments before voluntary unperturbed…
