What happens during a swallow test?

Julie Hicks, one of our Speech & Language Pathologists, explains what happens during a swallow test at our Center. Some patients are nervous about the test and we hope this explanation helps!

The University of Florida Center for Movement Disorders & Neurorestoration is founded on the philosophy that integrated, interdisciplinary care is the most effective approach for patients with movement disorders and disorders involving a group of circuits in the brain called the basal ganglia. The Center delivers motor, cognitive and behavioral diagnoses as well as various treatments all in one centralized location. Care is coordinated and provided by leading specialists from many advanced medical and surgical services.
