Development of a Patient User Interface for Measures of Pharyngeal SwallowingPatients with swallowing impairment due to neurological illness require continuousswallowing therapy to strengthen their throat muscles. These therapy sessions aregenerally carried out in clinics where the clinician's role is motivating the patient'sactivity during swallowing sessions while providing them with feedback.Biofeedback equipment that the patient can take home and practice swallowing makesthe process much more convenient for them.
