This seminar on demand is presented by Angela Mansolillo, MA/CCC-SLP. Cancers of the head and neck make up approximately three percent of diagnosed in the United States but have a high likelihood of resulting in early or late effect dysphagia symptoms. Swallowing problems result from the cancer itself, but more commonly, from the treatment for the cancer – surgical resection, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy. This course will discuss those treatments and their implications for swallowing function as well as potential complications of treatment, including xerostomia, mucositis, fibrosis, and disuse atrophy. A review of the available research with this complex population will provide information regarding compensatory techniques for symptom management and therapeutic interventions for maintaining and/or improving swallow function. The role of oral/pharyngeal exercise in this population will also be discussed. Nutritional concerns and appropriate interventions will be reviewed.

Although pain is usually a common indicator for healing, it is, in fact, an incomplete outcome measure. Often, patients continue to exhibit movement dysfunction at the time of discharge. Therefore, there is a need to integrate movement indicators to determine if patients are predisposed to further injury. These objective measures can help clinicians establish a movement baseline to assess dysfunctional patterns, movement quality, and behaviors. Furthermore, a scientific and systematic approach encompassing appropriate corrective strategies and sound movement-based training will contribute to successful, pain-free, and functional outcomes. It is our responsibility as Doctors of Physical Therapy and movement specialists to provide a balanced, comprehensive, approach to ensure enhanced performance in life or sport, injury prevention, optimum health, and longevity.
