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","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46885140791447,"sku":"9781848822146","price":16463.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781848822146.webp?v=1770246282","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/applications-and-innovations-in-intelligent-systems-xvi-proceedings-of-ai-2008-the-twenty-eighth-sgai-international-conference-on-innovative-techniq-9781848822146","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
