About this trial
The purpose of this study is to quantify the added benefit of visual biofeedback from High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM) for swallowing rehabilitation. Primary aims including assessing changes in swallowing biomechanics (pressure generation, timing) during swallow maneuvers with and without HRPM visual biofeedback. Secondary aim includes participant attitudes related to visual biofeedback and the experience of HRPM.
