Swallowing – Physiology, Disorders, Diagnosis and Therapy

Abstract

The understanding of normal physiology and pathophysiology of eating and swallowing disorders is essential for evaluating and managing disorders of eating and swallowing and developing dysphagia rehabilitation programs. Eating and swallowing are complex activities including both volitional and reflexive activities involving more than 30 nerves and muscles [1].
