Summary

This is an observational study, in which people recovering from COVID-19 infection will attend an outpatient clinic for a comprehensive swallowing assessment. The assessment will include a videofluoroscopy, measurement of respiratory-swallow coordination using a digital stethoscope, measures of tongue and cough strength and patient reported measures that will help us to understand the presence and impact of swallowing impairment (dysphagia) in this population.
