[Dysphagia] functional dysphagia goals
The easiest and most objective, provable are how much food and liquid taken by mouth per day/week. Or, time taken to drink 30ml water after baseline testing - still the most widely used screening test.
Longer term are weight gain as well as other nutritional variables.

Does anyone have advice, or examples, of functional and measurable short term goals (targeted weekly) for dysphagia. Either a general goal or a specific goals targeting laryngeal elevation, swallow initiation, base of tongue retraction, etc... I am having difficulty developing short term goals that are measurable and functional. Thanks for any advice.
