Understanding Dysphagia

 

Screen Shot 2015-01-17 at 3.03.17 PMWe’re always on the lookout for outstanding educational material on the subject of swallowing disorders. We found this seven minute video on YouTube.

It is sponsored by Nestle Nutrition and describes the following: what is dysphagia, signs and symptoms, physical and psychological affects on the patient (and to some extent one’s family/friends), the anatomy of swallowing, and finally nutrition and hydration management. Theirs is a lot out there on YouTube, but this video packed in great content in a short clip.
