Our project aims to introduce a skilled intervention using high-resolution esophageal manometry as visual biofeedback to improve upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressures

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the usefulness of manometry biofeedback in dysphagia rehabilitation.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to interpret basic upper esophageal sphincter measurements on a high-resolution manometry image.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to recognize a patient who may benefit from biofeedback in addition to traditional speech therapy.
