ABSTRACT
This article presents a protocol for videofluoroscopy based upon the literature and on four years of practical experience in a rehabilitation hospital from evaluation and treatment of dysphagia in patients with cerebral vascular and/or traumatic head injury. The protocol includes a description of clinical evaluation, necessary equipment and personnel. It also describes the types of food and liquids used, the positioning of the patient, the compensatory and therapeutic techniques which may be tested during the study, and the evaluation and reporting of results. During rehabilitation, patients with swallowing disorders can receive specific and practical advice on food intake, based on the results of videofluoroscopy.
