What is the ASPEKT Method?
In April 2019, the Swallowing Rehabilitation Research Lab (SRRL) published our first article on videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) reference values in healthy swallowing, across the range from thin to extremely thick liquids according to the IDDSI framework.
The ASPEKT Method (Analysis of Swallowing Physiology: Events, Kinematics and Timing) is a standard operating procedure for quantitative analysis of videofluoroscopy recordings of swallowing in adults. More information about the ASPEKT Method can be found here.

What is the ASPEKT-C Method?
In November 2019, the SRRL introduced the ASPEKT-C Method (Analysis of Swallowing Physiology: Events, Kinematics and Timing for Use in Clinical Practice), a simplified VFSS analysis approach to assist clinicians in identifying the underlying mechanisms leading to impaired swallowing safety and efficiency.
