Full Description
The second edition of The Adult Dysphagia Pocket Guide: Neuroanatomy to Clinical Practice remains a concise, easily portable reference guide designed specifically for the dysphagia clinician. It centers on the clinical application of normal and abnormal swallowing physiology as it relates to cranial nerves, muscles, and innervations. The text merges clinical neurophysiology of the swallow directly to the assessment and treatment of dysphagia to provide quick access to key clinical information and solutions for clinicians as they complete their swallowing assessments.
This book serves as a "quick reference" that answers the need for a practical guide that new clinicians, graduate students, and even seasoned clinicians can carry with them and readily access while they are completing their evaluations. It is a must-have resource for any speech-language pathologist treating dysphagia.
