Abstract:Purpose
Although movement of the hyoid bone is different for masticatory swallowing and liquid swallowing in normal subjects, it has not been studied after cervical spine surgery.

Methods
A day before and one week after the surgery, a videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) was performed,… Show more
