Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amanda Mahoney"
- Amanda Mahoney's recent research focuses on the applications of advanced imaging and sensor technologies in assessing and managing swallowing and feeding disorders, particularly in populations such as hospitalized infants and adults with dysphagia.
- Key findings include the development of methods for automatic tracking of hyoid bone motion in swallow studies, which enhances the precision of kinematic analyses traditionally conducted manually, thus improving clinical evaluation efficiency.
- Additionally, Mahoney's work emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and evidence-based practices in behavior interventions for individuals with disabilities, aiming to strengthen the connection between basic research and practical applications in various clinical settings.
