1. What Does Normal Breathing-Swallow Coordination Look Like?
Chapter 1 will examine respiratory-swallow coordination in healthy people, including respiratory patterning during swallowing, lung volumes at swallow initiation, and swallow apnea onset and durations.
2. Dyscoordination in Patient Populations
This chapter will examine the evidence for dyssynchronized breathing and swallowing in a variety of patient populations, including stroke and neuromuscular disease, COPD and obstructive sleep apnea, head and neck cancer, and aging individuals.
