No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most caregivers do not know the influence of improper positioning therefore subjects suffer from possible choking risks. The aims of this study were to investigate the timing and coordination of swallowing and respiration in 4 different seat inclination angles, with liquid and bolus. A self-developed wearable device to measure the submandibular muscle surface EMG, the movement of thyroid cartilage and respiratory status of nasal cavity. This program could auto-analysis the onset and offset of duration, and the excursion and strength of thyroid cartilage will be calculated when it was moving, coordination between breathing and swallowing was also included. The results of this study would serve as the clinical guidelines for proper feeding positions for different populations and for different food contents.
