ForwardCritical Illness/Dysphagia
The swallowing process is commonly affected by the normal aging process, impacting a growing number of individuals older than 60 years. It is estimated that 40-50% of older individuals residing in long-term care facilities have swallowing disorders and over 30% of the non-institutionalized older adults have a history of swallowing problems. Aspiration risk has been determined in up to 80% of patients with stroke and over half the population have been cited to have silent aspiration. Patients with MS have incidences of dysphagia over 30% of the time and over half of the population with Parkinson’s have dysphagia. Given these populations, diagnoses and society’s overall relationship with food as a social activity, clinicians in Physical Medicine are at the forefront of understanding how to best serve individuals who suffer with dysphagia. Physical Medicine teams, especially occupational therapists, fully understand the impact of the physiological, basic need for nutrition but also the larger psychological, social and motivational impact as well. The occupation of tending to this self-care need can span all settings: rehab facilities, inpatient/outpatient settings, homecare from pediatrics to adults, but is also adding this in earlier in the intensive care setting. The purpose of this workshop is to gain awareness of this specialty practice and gain knowledge that all physical medicine clinicians should have in their tool boxes.
