Dysphagia is a complex condition that can have significant social,
developmental and psychological effects. Alongside the physiology
and pathophysiology of the condition, dysphagia can rob patients of
the most basic pleasures, such as eating and drinking, causing
ongoing difficulties for individuals in social situations
throughout the lifespan. As an acknowledged component of
evidence-based practice, the humble case report encourages clinical
reflection and may be the spark that generates new thinking and
motivation for future research. Clinical Cases in Dysphagia
provides an opportunity to gain insight into the unique and varied
presentation and management of dysphagia across a range of
different conditions. With chapters provided by expert clinicians
and based on clinical examples 'from the trenches', the reader may
gain insights into their own practice patterns, refining their
clinical problem solving and valuing the education that is offered
to each of us by our patients. With additional online resources to
support the case-based approach, the book emphasizes the importance
of multidisciplinary care and reflects everyday clinical practice,
making it a must-read for clinicians and students.

For clinicians treating swallowing disorders in the stroke
population, this book provides practical information, bridging the
gap between academic and clinical practice with up-to-date research
and clinical case examples throughout. In addition to a thorough
overview of dysphagia diagnosis and management, this text focuses
heavily on evaluation and management of stroke. Key topics include
neural underpinnings of normal and disordered swallowing,
swallowing screening, the clinical swallowing examination including
cough reflex testing, the expanding array of instrumental
swallowing modalities, and the rehabilitation of swallowing
including strength training, non-invasive brain stimulation, and
skill training. While geared toward practicing clinicians,
''Dysphagia Following Stroke'' is also useful for students in
professional training programs. New to the Third Edition: *A third
author, Kristin Gozdzikowska, bring a fresh perspective as a young
clinician and researcher with particular expertise in high
resolution manometry and various cutting-edge treatment techniques
*Updated chapters on assessment to include new and emerging
instrumental technologies, including high resolution manometry,
impedance, and ultrasound *Updated chapters on management to
include the newly described International Dysphagia Diet
Standardization Initiative *New and expanded framework for
rehabilitation, with a shift from peripherally focused
rehabilitation to neuromodulation of cortical swallowing control
*New and updated research and trends in clinical practice
throughout *Access to a PluralPlus companion site with videos and
clinical forms This thoroughly updated and enhanced edition of
''Dysphagia Following Stroke'' is sure to remain a valued resource
for clinicians working with stroke patients in all settings.
