Integration of Dysphagia Therapy Techniques into Voice Rehabilitation: Design and Content Validation of a Cross-Therapy Protocol.

Background: The intricate relationship between swallowing and phonation, sharing anatomical and physiological substrates, underscores a clinical demand for integrated therapeutic approaches. Existing interventions often address these functions in isolation, overlooking their interconnected dynamics.

Objective: To design and validate a cross-therapy protocol incorporating dysphagia therapy techniques (maneuvers/exercises) into voice rehabilitation.
