Mechanisms and management considerations of parent-chosen feeding approaches to infants with swallowing difficulties: an observational study

Abstract Videofluoroscopy swallow studies (VFSS) and high-resolution manometry (HRM) methods complement to ascertain mechanisms of infant feeding difficulties. We hypothesized that: (a) an integrated approach (study: parent-preferred feeding therapy based on VFSS and HRM) is superior to the standard...
