Detection of Swallow Kinematic Events From Acoustic High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation Signals in Patients With Stroke

Objective To examine whether there were any associations between high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) acoustic signals recorded by a contact microphone and swallowing kinematic events during pharyngeal swallow as assessed by a videofluoroscopic (VF) examination. Design Prospective pilot study. Setting University teaching hospital, university research laboratories. Participants Patients (N=35) with stroke who have suspected dysphagia (26...
