Swallowing Assessment
From $140.00
Neurofunctional Diagnosis
Unlike conventional assessments that limit themselves to observing the mechanical act of swallowing, my evaluation focuses on analyzing the neurological control of the stomatognathic system. The goal is to identify failures in the coordination between the nervous system and muscular execution, ensuring a clear roadmap for rehabilitation.
Specialized Clinical Approach
My methodology evaluates the integrity of the cranial nerves and the sensorimotor response involved in each phase of swallowing. We not only determine what food the patient can ingest but also why the dysfunction exists, analyzing the efficiency of the airway protective reflexes.
Direct Benefits
Identification of Silent Risks: Early detection of microaspirations that often go unnoticed in basic exams.
Texture Personalization: Exact determination of safe consistencies to maintain optimal hydration and nutrition.
Reduction of Complications: Active prevention of aspiration pneumonia and cases of malnutrition or dehydration.
Results and Safety Guarantee
The result is a detailed functional diagnosis that allows the patient and their family to transition from uncertainty to an evidence-based management plan. At the end, you will receive a feeding protocol designed to maximize safety with every bite, restoring confidence and the pleasure of eating without risks.
