Correlating functional measures of orofacial strength with sonographic imaging
A study to examine the effectiveness of ultrasound for measurement of swallowing muscles
Sponsor: Teachers College, Columbia University
Enrolling: Male and Female Patients
Clinic Visits: 1
IRB Number: 18-339
Contact: Paige Thomas: 2126783072 / pat2151@tc.columbia.edu
Additional Study Information: We are looking for healthy volunteers to help us to assess how effective ultrasound is at measuring swallowing muscle size in healthy controls. Participation will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. We will measure the size of the muscles needed for swallowing using ultrasound and measure the strength of these muscles with two different strength based tasks. To participate you must be healthy and aged 65+
