Dysphagia Following Stroke

Now with videos!

Dysphagia Following Stroke, Third Edition is a practical and easy-to-use resource for clinicians treating swallowing disorders in the stroke population. The authors bridge the gap between academic and clinical practice with up-to-date research and clinical case examples throughout.

In addition to a thorough overview of dysphagia diagnosis and management, this text focuses heavily on evaluation and management of stroke. Key topics include neural underpinnings of normal and disordered swallowing, swallowing screening, the clinical swallowing examination including cough reflex testing, the expanding array of instrumental swallowing modalities, and the rehabilitation of swallowing including strength training, non-invasive brain stimulation, and skill training. While geared toward practicing clinicians, Dysphagia Following Stroke is also useful for students in professional training programs.

New to the Third Edition

• A third author, Kristin Gozdzikowska, bring a fresh perspective as a young clinician and researcher with particular expertise in high resolution manometry and various cutting-edge treatment techniques
• New larger 6" x 9" trim size
• Updated chapters on assessment to include new and emerging instrumental technologies, including high resolution manometry, impedance, and ultrasound
• Updated chapters on management to include the newly described International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative
• New and expanded framework for rehabilitation, with a shift from peripherally focused rehabilitation to neuromodulation of cortical swallowing control
• New and updated research and trends in clinical practice throughout
• Access to a PluralPlus companion site with videos and clinical forms

This thoroughly updated and enhanced edition of Dysphagia Following Stroke is sure to remain a valued resource for clinicians working with stroke patients in all settings.

Reviews

"Named to Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences - Speech, Language & Hearing 2020 list."
—Doody's (May 2020)

"This is an excellent resource for clinicians working with dysphagia patients, and not just the stroke population. The material is easily generalizable to other dysphagia etiologies. It easily competes with other adult dysphagia books that provide a comprehensive overview of assessment and management. This update is necessary not only because of the new evidence available since the previous edition, but also the technological advances in dysphagia, such as high-resolution manometry." —Kendrea Layne Garand, PhD, CScD, University of South Alabama, Doody's Book Reviews (April 2019)
