1. VFSS Protocols: A Historical Perspective
We will discuss protocols for VFSS developed by early leaders in the field, including Drs. Jeri Logemann, Jeffrey Palmer, Bronwyn Jones, and Olle Ekberg. Through this review, we will discuss variations in swallowing behavior and VFSS exam results that may be attributable to protocol choices, such as task instructions, repetitions, volume and bolus administration choices, etc.
2. More Recent Development of Standard VFSS Protocols
We will discuss three recently developed standard protocols for VFSS: MBSImP, DIGEST, and the Steele Swallowing Lab protocol.
3. Optimizing Your VFSS Protocol
We will review studies that suggest which tasks are most likely to reveal impairments in swallowing safety and efficiency.
