Temporal Sequence of Laryngeal Vestibule Closure and Reopening is Associated With Airway Protection
Upper esophageal sphincter opening (UESO), and laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) are two essential kinematic events whose timings are crucial for adequate bolus clearance and airway protection during swallowing. Their temporal characteristics can be quantified through time‐consuming analysis of videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS).
