“…Technically, electromyography and pressure sensing analyses are widely utilized techniques [43]. Furthermore, the acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds, in conjunction with X-ray imaging and ultrasonic pulse Doppler, are also employed to ascertain the speed and timing of bolus passage through the oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal stages [44][45][46]. Collectively, these studies have laid a robust theoretical foundation for comprehending swallowing abnormalities, thereby advancing the development of diverse assessment methodologies.…”

“…Measurements of tongue pressure against the hard palate are crucial for understanding the mechanics of bolus propulsion during the oral phase of swallowing [67]. Instruments measuring tongue strength and endurance provide insights into the swallowing function, highlighting the importance of muscular health in effective swallowing [46,106].…”

Dysphagia is a pervasive health issue that impacts diverse demographic groups worldwide, particularly the elderly, stroke survivors, and those suffering from neurological disorders. This condition poses substantial health risks, including malnutrition, respiratory complications, and increased mortality. Additionally, it exacerbates economic burdens by extending hospital stays and escalating healthcare costs. Given that this disorder is frequently underestimated in vulnerable populations, there is an urgent need for enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Traditional diagnostic tools such as the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) require interpretation by clinical experts and may lead to complications. In contrast, non-invasive sensors offer a more comfortable and convenient approach for assessing swallowing function. This review systematically examines recent advancements in non-invasive swallowing function detection devices, focusing on the validation of the device designs and their implementation in clinical practice. Moreover, this review discusses the swallowing process and the associated biomechanics, providing a theoretical foundation for the technologies discussed. It is hoped that this comprehensive overview will facilitate a paradigm shift in swallowing assessments, steering the development of technologies towards more accessible and accurate diagnostic tools, thereby improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
