SOAP pharyngeal phase

Question 1

Swallow timeliness

Answer 1

(Adequate with no) penetration or aspiration

Question 2

Posterior tongue retraction

Answer 2

(Adequate with some) residue coating tongue base

Question 3

Posterior pharyngeal wall contraction

Answer 3

(Adequate with some) residue coating posterior pharyngeal wall

Question 4

Laryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion: adequate

Answer 4

Laryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion: adequate, resulting in good epiglottic inversion with no residue in valleculae and good airway protection. Laryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion also resulted in good CP opening with no residue in pyriform sinuses.

Question 5

VP closure

Answer 5

(Adequate with no) nasal penetration or regurgitation

Question 6

Laryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion: poor

Answer 6

Laryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion: poor, resulting in poor epiglottic inversion with residue in valleculae and decreased airway protection. Poor aryngeal elevation/hyoid excursion also resulted in poor CP opening with residue in pyriform sinuses

Question 7

Epiglottic inversion from something other than laryngeal elevation

Answer 7

Epiglottic inversion reduced due to (cervical hardware) resulting in residue in valleculae

Question 8

CP opening as a result of something other than laryngeal elevation

Answer 8

CP opening reduced due to (CP bar) resulting in residue in pyriform sinuses

Question 9

Aspiration/penetration

Answer 9

None noted? Noted on x texture(s)

Question 10

Unilateral pharyngeal weakness

Answer 10

Residue appeared symmetrical/on one side
