| Abstract |
The effect of effortful swallow on pharyngeal pressure and UES relaxation onsets and durations was examined. Eighteen adults, nine males and nine females (mean age=27.9 yr), participated. Timing of pharyngeal pressure and onset and duration of UES relaxation were measured across ten trials of normal and ten trials of effortful swallows. Results revealed that manometric timing measurements are consistent across trials. The first and second statistical analyses investigated the pharyngeal pressure and UES relaxation onsets and durations, respectively. Both analyses identified a significant interaction of swallow type (i.e., effortful vs. normal) by manometric sensor location (p<0.05). Across normal and effortful swallows, UES relaxation preceded pharyngeal pressure onsets, yet the rate of change (or degree of delay) varied across the sensors. Furthermore, the effortful swallow elicited longer pharyngeal pressure and UES relaxation durations, yet the pressure duration measured in the upper pharynx was significantly longer than that measured lower in the pharynx. These findings offer insight as to the potential positive and negative influence of the effortful swallow on pharyngeal timing. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 February 2020.
All research outputs
#5,700,702
of 23,839,820 outputs
Outputs from Dysphagia
#359
of 1,327 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,866
of 58,350 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dysphagia
#1
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,839,820 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,327 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 58,350 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
