ABOUT THE BOOK
This practical and easy-to-use handbook provides up-to-date coverage of the evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders in the stroke population. The gap between academics and clinical practice is narrowed with the latest research packaged for clinical application. Particular focus is on the clinical and instrumental evaluation of swallowing, measurements of dysphagia, principles of care for patients with dysphagia following stroke, rehabilitation and risk management. Clinical examples are incorporated throughout the text to facilitate clinical integration and relevance.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stephanie K. Daniels, Ph.D. is a research speech pathologist at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas and is Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Baylor College of Medicine. Prior to obtaining her doctorate, she was a practicing clinician for 12 years. Her research and clinical work has focused on neurogenic dysphagia. When not busy at work, Stephanie returns to New Orleans as often as possible to soak up the atmosphere, eat great food, and enjoy the best music scene around.
Maggie-Lee Huckabee, Ph.D.practiced as a clinician for 13 years before
the frustration of never knowing 'the answers' led her to an academic
career. She is now senior lecturer in the Department of Communication
Disorders, University of Canterbury and senior researcher at the Van der
Veer Institute for Parkinson's and Brain Research in Christchurch, New
Zealand. She still hasn't found 'the answers' but is trying, with
research interests focusing on the complexities of behaviorally-driven
neural adaptation and biomechanical change leading to swallowing
recovery. Dr. Huckabee has a great time supervising terrific, emerging
researchers, overseeing a busy laboratory and enjoying the beauty of New
Zealand with dogs at her feet and a good pinot noir in her hand.
