1. Lips
2. Teeth
3. Tongue
4. Salivary glands
5. Soft palate
6. Hard palate

? Mass of striated muscles covered by a
mucous membrane.
? The most important articulator for

? The primary function of the tongue is to
provide a sense of taste.
34. Interventions Vs Prevention
? Chest clearance and frequent re-eval.
? Respiratory exercises (expiratory
muscle training).
? Re-education of protective mechanisms
against aspiration.
? Dietary modifications.
? Increasing protein intake.
? Looking out for signs of dehydration.
36. Assessment Methods
1. Fiberoptic endoscopic eval of swallowing
(FEES).
2. Barium swallow or Video-fluoroscopy.
3. Bed Side Swallow Screen.
39. Remember
1. During assessment, the patient Must be in an upright
position.
2. Testing the swallowing function is done by using the
three consistencies of food which are:
- Semi-Solid
- Solid.
- Liquids
3. The patient should be encouraged to take sips of fluid and
