Application and Verification of Quantitative Objective Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Measures in a Pediatric Population with Dysphagia.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of obtaining and utilizing objective measures of timing and displacement from videofluoroscopy performed in pediatrics.

Study Design: Children (n = 121; mean age 38 months, range 9 days-21 years, SD 4 years) referred for videofluoroscopy were recruited. All underwent a standardized protocol including a mid-feed 20-second loop recorded at 25 frames per second.
