Anatomy
What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
Genioglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus & hyoglossus
This type of view during VFSS allows you to see symmetry and VF closure.
What is anterior-posterior (A-P) view?
This postural technique is used to narrow the pharyngeal space and may be effective for individuals with unilateral pharyngeal weakness or residue on one side.
What is Head turn?
In feeding, this over-responsiveness to sensory input often presents as a child who gags easily or has a strong aversion to many textures
What is Hypersensitivity?
This phase of swallowing involves stabilizing the floor of the mouth, stiffening of the soft palate, and containment and control of the bolus
What is Tongue control/bolus hold?
This validated bedside screening uses a 3-ounce water swallow test.
What is the Yale Swallow Protocol (YSP)?
This strategy is characterized by consciously holding the breath before and during the swallow, followed by a cough, primarily used to manage reduced laryngeal vestibule closure
What is the supraglottic swallow?
A 9-month-old infant who was born 8 weeks premature has this adjusted age, expressed in months.
What is 7 months?
This muscle elevates and retracts the palate
What is the Levator veli palatini?
This brief loss of view during the swallow is a normal part of FEES.
What is the whiteout period?
This exercise protocol, traditionally performed supine, is designed to strengthen the suprahyoid musculature to improve hyolaryngeal excursion and UES opening.
What is the shaker maneuver?
This feeding pattern, typical from 4 to 6 months and beyond, is characterized by up and down tongue movements and lip closure.
What is sucking?
This suprahyoid muscle elevates and draws the hyoid bone posteriorly
What is the Stylohyoid?
You suspect pharyngeal residue and want to visualize pooled secretions or penetration events. Which instrumental assessment would you choose?
What is FEES?
This rehabilitative maneuver requires the patient to hold their tongue between their teeth while attempting a dry swallow to increase pressure on the pharyngeal wall.
What is the masako maneuver?
Poor cheek, lip, and jaw stability resulting from low muscle tone is the primary issue in this condition.
What is Hypotonicity?
The muscles which help to adduct the vocal folds include (two answers)
What are the Interarytenoids (IA) & Lateral cricoarytenoids (LCA)?
On VFSS, the bolus enters the pharynx before laryngeal elevation or epiglottic inversion occurs. What impairment does this suggest?
What is delayed initiation of the pharyngeal swallow?
This compensatory posture involves tilting the chin up, effectively using gravity to clear the bolus through the oral cavity for patients with severe oral transit deficit
What is head extension?
Which skill typically emerges last in the progression of developmental feeding milestones?
What is Normal rotary chewing?
