Dysphagia represents a major problem in rehabilitation of stroke and head injury patients. In current clinical practice videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) is the gold standard for diagnosis of swallowing disorders. However, VFSS is a ti- consuming procedure performed only in a clinical setting. VFSS also results in some radiation exposure. Therefore, various non-invasive methods are proposed for swallowing assessment based on evaluation of swallowing signals, recorded by microphones and\/or accelerometers and analyzed by digital signal processing techniques [2]-[5]. Swallowing sounds are caused by a bolus passing through pharynx. It is possible to use swallowing sounds to determine pharyngeal phase of the swallow and characteristics of the bolus [2].\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2008-11-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781848822146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-84882-215-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234.0cm x156.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 258.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583002927244,"sku":"9781848822146","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781848822146.jpg?v=1767202059","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781848822146","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
