How often does dysphagia occur and who does it affect? Statistics in the incidence of dysphagia in
the traumatic brain injury individual vary widely; one study reporting 80% effected and 16% needing assistance with eating one year post injury (Duong, Englaneder, Wright, Cifi, Greenwald and Brown, 2004)
Dysphagia prevalence increases with age, therefore, people with a TBI may acquire dysphagia as they age.
61% of adults admitted to acute trauma centers
41% of individuals in rehab settings 30% - 75% of patients in nursing homes 10 million Americans (adults and
children) are evaluated each year with swallowing difficulties

Definition:Dysphagia is defined as a difficulty in swallowing. This includes any difficulty in the process of: biting, chewing, handling and/or swallowing of food and/or liquid. One example of a swallowing problem that we can all relate to is when food or drink “goes down the wrong way”, which we all have experienced at one time or another. For people with dysphagia, this problem is occurring more frequently.

People with traumatic brain injury may have damaged the cranial nerves and/or have structural abnormalities (to their jaw, neck, throat) affecting swallowing.
Symptoms: Coughing Throat clearing Hunching of shoulders Sensation of food getting caught Reddening in the face and/or facial grimacing Pain with swallowing Vomiting Wet voice Slow eating - fatigue Holding food in mouth Refusal to eat Weight loss, dehydration Heartburn or Reflux Upper respiratory infections and/or pneumonia Choking

Stages of Swallowing:Stage One: Oral Phase Includes oral preparatory phase Mastication (chewing) of the food Forms a bolus (mass of soft chewed food) Bolus moves to the back of the oral cavity into the
oropharynx (throat) Takes approx. one second Common problems: difficulty in chewing, forming a
bolus, controlling the bolus, propelling the bolus to pharynx

Stage Two: Pharyngeal Tongue pushes food to pharynx, which
triggers swallowing response. Larynx and epiglottis move to close off the
airway for protection, breathing stops. Reflexive, lasting one second or less. Common problems: delayed swallow,
nasal regurgitation, inadequate protection of the airway, pharyngeal stasis
Stage Three: Esophageal The bolus enters the esophagus and
travels to the stomach Reflexive, takes approx. 3 seconds,
may take longer for pill (medication) Common problems: poor peristalsis,
obstructions

1. Prepare for the MBS (if possible attend)- how is the person eating and drinking now- What is working for them and what seems to be causing problems: Symptoms Types of food or drink that work best or worse Positioning Pace of eating and drinking Bring to the MBS small sample of a simple favorite food (sandwich, pizza)
2. After the speech pathologist makes the diet recommendations: Ask, ask, ask questions What is a thickened liquid? Where do I get these thickening agents? What is a soft mechanical food? What is the best position for the person to eat? To drink? What does a chin tuck look like? How much food is a normal bite? A normal sip of a drink? How do I give medications? Will direct speech therapy help?

Do not argue, accept that this is their perspective, but do follow diet recommendations
Provide praise for any positive action
