Description

Excellent visual tool to aid professionals in educating patients and families about swallowing disorders. This app features custom-designed animations derived from MBSImP™ research on swallowing physiology and impairment. The animations accurately depict normal swallow physiology and provide clear examples of varying physiologic impairments of the swallow. Controls allow for zoom, slow motion, pause, and frame-by-frame scroll. Includes an overview of normal swallow function, and links to other educational resources.
Animations are of adult physiology and include:
• Normal Swallow, Lateral View
• Normal Swallow, A/P View
• Example of Penetration with Aspiration
• Impairment of Anterior Hyoid Excursion
• Impairment of Bolus Hold
• Impairment of Bolus Transport
• Impairment of Epiglottic Movement
• Impairment of Esophageal Clearance
• Impairment of Initiation of Pharyngeal Swallow
• Impairment of Laryngeal Elevation
• Impairment of Laryngeal Vestibular Closure
• Impairment of Lip Closure
• Impairment of Mastication
• Impairment of PES Opening
• Impairment of Pharyngeal Contraction
• Impairment of Pharyngeal Stripping Wave
• Impairment of Soft Palate Elevation
• Impairment of Tongue Base Retraction

User Notes:
• Animations depict adult physiology, including normal swallow.
• Animations do not include narration. Visual tool only.
• The animations included in this app accurately represent the anatomy and physiology of normal and impaired swallowing function. They were developed in conjunction with the evidence-based "Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile," or MBSImP.
• Rarely does one physiologic swallow impairment exist alone. This app highlights primary impairments, but co-existing impairments typically occur and the examples shown here are no exception.
• Available for iPhone and iPad.

Great tool, it’s just hard to narrate when you’re not the one controlling the pointer

Very helpful

I use this app at least weekly in my practice, I so appreciate the clarity of the visuals and love that you can single out specific areas of impairment. Helpful for patients and colleagues alike.

Great tool

I’ve been using this app for years and still enjoy it. It provides so much info to my patients and their families on what I look for and how the swallow works. It provides great photos and a slow motion ability to help them understand all the structures involved in a safe swallow.

Over priced by about 8 bucks Works fine but I don't see this getting much if any long term use other than to have something at hand to educate lay ppl

Expected Much More from Northern Speech

Kellyj8577 on

United States

As a student clinician, I was hoping to have purchased an app that I could use for reference, and show to patients. Northern Speech is such a great company with a wealth of resources, that I assumed this app would be no exception. I was disappointed that there were few videos, no vocal descriptions, and also not at least a brief structure description.

Disappointing

Mar0813 on

United States

This app could be really great for educating dysphagia patients. However, there are only a few swallow sample videos to choose from and they don't seem to represent the problems that my patents have. In my opinion, $10.00 is an outrageous price for an app like this but I'm willing to pay it if the app serves a purpose. This does not come close to being adequate. There is hope, though. If the maker of the app is willing to add more videos (many more are needed to make this app worthwhile - at least 10-15 more) than I will rewrite this review and give it a better rating. Right now it's not worth the money that they are charging. Please update with more videos.

Great app! Suggestion

This app is great for educating patients and caregivers, thank you, I think it would be helpful to have a screen that labels the anatomy. I can point things out, but having it all on one page would be helpful. Thanks!

Terrific!

@SLPMAN on

United States

I use this app just about every day with my home care patients to help them understand what's going on when they swallow. The graphics are great and having the ability to adjust the speed and pause the animation is crucial. It's one of my most frequently used apps and I recommend it to all my colleagues!

Great app!!!

United States

Fantastic app that has facilitated educating both my resident/client and their family members. It also helped when I provided nurses, CNA's etc an inservice on dysphagia. Great purchase for any SLP!

Useful app for students & patients

Great app for illustrating the swallow as seen during the VFSS. But it'd be an even better app if the structures were labeled.
