Steele C, Mancopes R, Barrett E, Panes V, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Simmons M, et al.
J Speech Lang Hear Res . 2024 Oct; 67(11):4304-4313. PMID: 39467167
Purpose: Age- and disease-related changes in oropharyngeal anatomy and physiology may be identified through quantitative videofluoroscopic measures of pharyngeal area and dynamics. Pixel-based measures of nonconstricted pharyngeal area (PhAR) are...

Smaoui S, Cummins E, Mena M, Scott S, Tobar-Fredes R
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol . 2024 Oct; 9(5):e70022. PMID: 39430001
Purpose: One major consequence of lung transplantation is the development of oropharyngeal dysphagia. This systematic review aims to appraise and synthesize the available evidence of the use of instrumental assessments...

Yee J, Smaoui S, Rogus-Pulia N
Am J Speech Lang Pathol . 2024 Aug; :1-11. PMID: 39151063
Purpose: Oropharyngeal swallowing exercise-based interventions are frequently utilized to target physiologic mechanisms with the goal of improving swallowing function. However, study replicability and evidence synthesis regarding effects of interventions are...

Smaoui S, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Mancopes R, Sutton D, Richardson D, Steele C
Folia Phoniatr Logop . 2024 Apr; 76(6):577-587. PMID: 38574489
Introduction: Swallowing outcomes regarding lingual resistance training have been mixed due to variability in methods, leading to ambiguity concerning the utility of this intervention. The purpose of this study was...

Valenzano T, Smaoui S, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Barbon C, Craven B, Steele C
Am J Speech Lang Pathol . 2023 Feb; 32(2):688-700. PMID: 36812476
Purpose: In this article, we illustrate use of a systematic approach to rating videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS), the Analysis of Swallowing Physiology: Events, Kinematics and Timing (ASPEKT) method. The method...

Smaoui S, Mancopes R, Simmons M, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Steele C
J Speech Lang Hear Res . 2023 Feb; 66(3):863-871. PMID: 36780312
Purpose: Videofluoroscopic (VFSS) measurements of pharyngeal swallow mechanics can differentiate age- and disease-related changes in swallowing. Pharyngeal area at rest (PhAR) may differ in people with dysphagia, although its impact...

Bandini A, Smaoui S, Steele C
Comput Methods Programs Biomed . 2022 Aug; 225:107058. PMID: 35961072
Background And Objective: The videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is a gold-standard imaging technique for assessing swallowing, but analysis and rating of VFSS recordings is time consuming and requires specialized training...

Smaoui S, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Mancopes R, Sutton D, Richardson D, Steele C
J Speech Lang Hear Res . 2022 Jun; 65(7):2399-2411. PMID: 35731684
Purpose: Patients with poststroke dysphagia may experience inefficient bolus clearance or inadequate airway protection. Following a stroke, impairments in lingual pressure generation capacity are thought to contribute to oropharyngeal dysphagia....

Smaoui S, Peladeau-Pigeon M, Steele C
J Speech Lang Hear Res . 2022 Jan; 65(2):419-430. PMID: 34982956
Purpose: Research remains equivocal regarding the links between hyoid movement and penetration-aspiration. The aims of this study were (a) to explore associations between hyoid parameters, laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) parameters,...

Mancopes R, Gandhi P, Smaoui S, Steele C
OBM Geriat . 2021 Aug; 5(1). PMID: 34350402
Research suggests there are age-related changes in swallowing that do not constitute impairment ("presbyphagia"). The goal of this study was to explore the influence of age on quantitative measures of...
