Name Time Method The data on biomechanics of wet swallowing in alaryngeal speakers can be used to identify swallowing problems post operatively in routine clinical situations through a simple radiation free noninvasive biomechanics study . Thus , method can be used for screening purpose and early diagnostics of swallowing issues .Findings of the study would help in planning client specific intervention programme and further documenting the progress. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: ONE TIME , <br/ ><br>1 st January 2019- 20 th January 2019 <br/ ><br>
