We would only examine in supine if the patient (often babies) are fed in
that position.  We would examine both upright and supine.  Logemann has
indicated in the past, that for some head and neck patients, supine feeding
may be safer.  Hilda Pressman

With respect to VFSS and positioning, how many of you examine patients
swallowing in a supine position?
