ABOUT
THE BOOK
Fully
revised, updated and expanded, the second edition of Clinical Management of
Swallowing Disorders presents the latest methods and approaches to evaluation
and treatment. The authors, from a joint speech pathology/otolaryngology perspective,
explore the range and incidence of swallowing disorders and the impact on patients'
health and well being. Defining and discussing the conditions leading to and consequences
of dysphagia, ranging from neurological conditions and head and neck diseases
to dehydration and malnutrition, the book examines the methods for evaluation,
behavioral and nutritional management, and surgical treatment. Covering dysphagia
in all populations, Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders is a well-organized,
practical resource. The authors have provided a user-friendly format: extensive
tables and charts deliver valuable information in a quickly accessible format.
Key highlighted phrases, study questions and an extensive glossary combine to
make this an ideal text for students and clinicians.
