SUMMARY:Teresa Valenzano - Respiratory-Swallow Coordination in Spinal Cord Injury
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRespiratory-swallow coordination is vital for preventing the aspiration of foreign material into the airway. In healthy adults\, respiration ceases during the expiratory phase of breathing for the duration of the swallow. However\, for individuals with respiratory impairments\, these two systems may become discoordinated\, leading to increased risk of aspiration and related negative sequelae. This lecture will present the mechanics of respiratory-swallow coordination and discuss the implications of this discoordination in the spinal cord injury population. \nAbout the Speaker\nTeresa Valenzano is a practicing speech-language pathologist\, with an interest in swallowing function in neurological disorders. She completed her Doctorate of Philosophy from the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute and Master’s of Health Science from the Department of Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Toronto. Her doctoral work research focused on characterizing the physiology of swallowing in those who have experienced a traumatic spinal cord injury\, and investigating the relationship between respiration and swallowing in this population. Teresa currently works for the Interprofessional Practice Based Research program at St. Michael’s Hospital\, helping bridge the gap between research and clinical practice.
