Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing. Although classified under "symptoms and signs" in ICD-10,in some contexts it is classified as a condition in its own right.
Swallowing,sometimes called deglutition in scientific contexts,is the process in the human or animal body that allows for a substance to pass from the mouth,to the pharynx,and into the esophagus,while shutting the epiglottis. Swallowing is an important part of eating and drinking. If the process fails and the material goes through the trachea,then choking or pulmonary aspiration can occur. In the human body the automatic temporary closing of the epiglottis is controlled by the swallowing reflex.
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx and separation of the airway from the mouth,nose and esophagus. In a total laryngectomy,the entire larynx is removed. In a partial laryngectomy,only a portion of the larynx is removed. Following the procedure,the person breathes through an opening in the neck known as a stoma. This procedure is usually performed by an ENT surgeon in cases of laryngeal cancer. Many cases of laryngeal cancer are treated with more conservative methods. A laryngectomy is performed when these treatments fail to conserve the larynx or when the cancer has progressed such that normal functioning would be prevented. Laryngectomies are also performed on individuals with other types of head and neck cancer. Post-laryngectomy rehabilitation includes voice restoration,oral feeding and more recently,smell and taste rehabilitation. An individual's quality of life can be affected post-surgery.
Oral myology is the field of study that involves the evaluation and treatment of the oral and facial musculature,including the muscles of the tongue,lips,cheeks,and jaw.
Telerehabilitation (or e-rehabilitation is the delivery of rehabilitation services over telecommunication networks and the internet. Telerehabilitation allows patients to interact with providers remotely and can be used both to assess patients and to deliver therapy. Fields of medicine that utilize telerehabilitation include:physical therapy,occupational therapy,speech-language pathology,audiology,and psychology. Therapy sessions can be individual or community-based. Types of therapy available include motor training exercises,speech therapy,virtual reality,robotic therapy,goal setting,and group exercise.

The All India Institute of Speech and Hearing,commonly known as AIISH (AYE-SH),is located in Manasagangotri,Mysore,India. It is an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The institute was established in 1966 with a focus on training professionals for speech and hearing sciences.
Speech-language pathology is a healthcare field of expertise practiced globally. Speech-language pathology (SLP) specializes in the evaluation,diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of communication disorders,cognitive-communication disorders,voice disorders,and swallowing disorder across the lifespan. It is an independent profession that is sometimes considered a "related health profession" or allied health profession by professional bodies like the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and Speech Pathology Australia. Allied health professions include audiology,optometry,occupational therapy,rehabilitation psychology,physical therapy and others.
A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSAg) or a Bachelor of Agriculture (BAg) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by tertiary faculty of agriculture. The program is typically four years of study at postsecondary level.

Speech-Language &Audiology Canada (SAC),formerly known as the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA),is a national organization supporting and representing speech-language pathologists,audiologists and communication health assistants. The association adopted its new name and logo on February 5,2014.
Dr. JoAnne Robbins,Ph.D. is an American authority on dysphagia and biomedical engineering,and is professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. For more than three decades she has been a leading researcher in the field of swallowing abnormalities. Her work has uncovered correlations among elderly populations who are at increased risk for pneumonia,choking and other serious medical conditions as a result of dysphagia. Using grants from N.I.H. and the Department of Veterans Affairs,Robbins developed a medical device designed to help people afflicted with swallowing disorders.
Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) is a method of measuring the position of parts of the mouth. EMA uses sensor coils placed on the tongue and other parts of the mouth to measure their position and movement over time during speech and swallowing. Induction coils around the head produce an electromagnetic field that creates,or induces,a current in the sensors in the mouth. Because the current induced is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance,a computer is able to analyse the current produced and determine the sensor coil's location in space.
