Variations in Healthy Swallowing Mechanics During Various Bolus Conditions Using Computational Analysis of Swallowing Mechanics (CASM).

ABSTRACT: Bolus properties such as volume, consistency, and density have been shown to influence swallowing through the analysis of kinematics and timing in both normal and disordered swallowing. However, inherent intra- and inter-person variability of swallowing cloud interpretation of group data. Computational analysis of swallow mechanics (CASM) is an established methodology that uses coordinate tracking to map structural movements during swallowing and yields statistically powerful analyses at both the group and individual levels. In this study, the CASM method was used to determine how different bolus properties (volume, consistency, and density) altered swallow mechanics in healthy young adults at the group and individual levels.
