Introduction
The essentials of dysphagia diagnosis and treatment are presented in a format that will be useful to both beginners and clinicians who need a practical update on dysphagia. Due to our daily clinical involvement in the treatment of swallowing disorders at leading educational institutions and the teaching of this information to students, we saw the need to revise and update a text that continues to be well accepted by clinicians, students, and faculty. . This book addresses clinical issues at the current level of clinical understanding. The material contained in the Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders, Fifth Edition, is derived from a vast repository of recent knowledge and scholarly activities, along with our daily experiences from our multispecialty swallowing disorders clinics and research activities. . Since the fourth edition was published, new evidence has demonstrated the importance of early intervention and aggressive treatment of dysphagia. Outcome data is now available to show the importance of proper evaluation and treatment to deter and prevent aspiration and improve the quality of life for patients.
