[Deliberate release of the laryngeal adductor reflex via microdroplet impulses : Development of a device].

DISCUSSION: In dysphagia with penetration or aspiration it is presumed that the protective function of the larynx is no longer adequately ensured. The MIT-LAR device provides a valid and reliable method to assess LAR quantitatively. Furthermore, it holds the promise of being a simple to handle method that can be used clinically for routine diagnostics. PMID: 26886492 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
