“…The VFSS also supports education for both the person and others who have an impact on patient care, as well as research into the results of compensatory and restorative intervention programs. In addition to the definition of cricopharyngeal dysmotility and the comprehension of the movement of the hyolaryngeal complex [20][21][22] .…”

Background: A set of long-term abnormalities in posture and motor development that limit activities is known as cerebral palsy (CP). Oromotor dysfunction affects up to 92% of children with CP. Children upsuffering from dysphagia may exhibit a variety of swallowing difficulties that impact one or more swallowing processes. Utilising diagnostic imaging techniques, the physiology of deglutition must be investigated in order to address swallowing issues.Objective: This review aimed to discuss the objective methods for feeding assessment in children with CP as, videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), ultrasonography (US), upper gastrointestinal series and endoscopic evaluation. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for the following keywords: CP, Feeding assessment in children, VFSS, FEES, and ultrasonography. The authors additionally screened references from the relevant literature, including all of the identified research and reviews but only the most current or full study was chosen. Conclusion:The VFSS provides dynamic visualisation of the oral, pharyngeal, and upper esophageal phases of swallowing throughout the contrast bolus passage, whereas the FEES allows for direct examination of the pharyngeal and laryngeal structures, as well as airway protection, without the need for barium or radiation exposure and with the ability to perform bedside exams. US may be used to quantitatively assess the oral and laryngeal stages of swallowing. US can accurately assess relative laryngeal movement.

“…An observational study using flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) with neurological patients in intensive care (Braun et al, 2020) rounds off these papers. Two pedagogical papers complete the Issue with the first reporting the outcomes of a randomised controlled trial using simulation in clinical placements within the University setting (Hill et al, 2020), while a second explores SLP Managers' perceptions of an eLearning program for clinicians in the workplace (Taubert, 2020).…”

“…In view of the challenges mentioned, online training has the advantage of reduced dependence on geographical boundaries, high flexibility, fewer resource demands, high capacity of training provision simultaneously and relatively low cost (Burns et al, 2021;Taubert et al, 2017Taubert et al, , 2021. Therefore, online training is likely a better mode for healthcare practitioners in mainland China.…”

BackgroundWith a rapidly aging population in mainland China, dysphagia has become one of the common geriatric disorders which creates a huge demand on speech and language therapists (SLTs). The major challenge is the shortage of SLTs in China. In addition, frontline practitioners in mainland China may not be well equipped with the knowledge and practical skills in dysphagia management due to lack of systematic training and the work nature.AimsThis study evaluates the self‐perceived effectiveness and feasibility of an online training program that aims to enhance the self‐assessed knowledge and skills of SLTs providing dysphagia care in residential aged care homes.Methods and ProceduresSixteen SLTs working in a residential aged care homes in mainland China attended a three‐hour pilot online training program which consists of didactic lecture and practical skills activity components. A total of 10 participants completed an online questionnaire one month after the training to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of this online training program.Outcomes and ResultsThe preliminary results demonstrated participants’ self‐perception of high training effectiveness in theoretical knowledge and practical skills. A majority of the participants perceived that the training enhanced their theoretical knowledge and all of them perceived that they acquired practical skills. All respondents were satisfied with the online training approach. They also highlighted the advantage and challenges of the online training approach.Conclusions and ImplicationsOnline training is an effective and feasible approach for theoretical knowledge and practical skills transfer in SLT training and could ultimately benefit the delivery of services for individuals with dysphagia in mainland China.What this paper addsWhat is already known on the subject Previous studies have shown that online training approach is as effective as face‐to‐face training in increasing professional knowledge. Online training programs may be more cost efficient and time efficient when compared with face‐to‐face training.What this study adds The present study provided preliminary evidence to support the feasibility and effectiveness of using online training on dysphagia for speech and language therapists working in residential aged care homes in mainland China.What are the clinical implications of this work? From the participants’ perception, online training approach is effective and feasible in delivering theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It may be a better training approach for mainland China considering the lack of expertise and accessibility to training.
