Oral phase
|
Oral-phase disorders affecting the oral preparatory and oral propulsive phases usually result from impaired control of the tongue. Patients may have difficulty chewing solid food and initiating swallows
|
|
Oral Phase swallowing symptoms
|
*Cannot hold food in the mouth anteriorly due to reduced lip closure
*Cannot form a bolus or residue on the floor of the mouth due to reduced range of tongue motion or coordination *Cannot hold a bolus due to reduced tongue shaping and coordination *Unable to align teeth due to reduced mandibular movement *Food material falls into anterior sulcus or residue in the anterior sulcus due to reduced labial tension or tone. |
|
Pharyngeal phase
|
If pharyngeal clearance is impaired severely, a patient may be unable to ingest sufficient amounts of food and drink to sustain life
|
|
Pharyngeal Phase Swallowing Symptoms
|
*Delayed pharyngeal swallow
*Nasal penetration during swallow due to reduced velopharyngeal closure *Pseudoepiglottis (after total laryngectomy) - Fold of mucosa at the base of the tongue *Cervical osteophytes *Coating of pharyngeal walls after the swallow due to reduced pharyngeal contraction bilaterally |
|
Esophageal phase
|
Impaired esophageal function can result in retention of food and liquid in the esophagus after swallowing. This retention may result from mechanical obstruction, motility disorder, or impaired opening of the lower esophageal sphincter.
