| | Mathematical Modeling of Pharyngeal Bolus Transport |
 | | Due to the transient nature of pharyngeal bolus transport, these equations must be solved in their time-dependent form. | | | Other problems associated with the intrabolus pressure measurements are relative motion of the pharynx versus the transducer during the act of swallowing, and the pressence of the catheter within the pharynx may interefere with bolus transport. | | | MFG can potentially provide a good clinical evaluation of dysphagia, because it provides insight about bolus movement under external forces, but it is still not well suited for a thorough evaluation of the various clinical options available in dysphagia management. |

| | The muscles work in a coordinated fashion to mix the food bolus with saliva and propel it from the anterior oral cavity into the oropharynx, where the involuntary swallowing reflex is triggered. | | | The procedure is a sensitive technique for detecting premature bolus loss, laryngeal penetration, tracheal aspiration, and pharyngeal residue. | | | Direct techniques include modifications of food consistency, whereas indirect techniques include stimulation of the oropharyngeal structures and the adoption of behavioral techniques, such as postural changes or the swallow maneuver. |

| | The phase begins when the bolus has passed the anterior tonsillar pillars and ends when the bolus has passed through the pharyngoesophageal sphincter (sometimes known as either the cricopharyngeal sphincter or the upper esophageal sphincter) into the esophagus. | | | It can detail which portion of each phase of the swallow is dysfunctional, whether there is aspiration, and whether the patient has any natural compensatory mechanisms, such as coughing, in response to penetration (when the bolus gets into the laryngeal introitus) or aspiration (when the bolus passes the vocal cords into the trachea). | | | This phase ends when the bolus passes the anterior tonsillar pillars (Groher, 1992; Logemann, 1998). |
