GDM would like to thank Mr Eng Tze Hao (Speech Therapist from Singapore) for his help in translation and presentation of the Mandarin Version of the CTAR video.

The following Mandarin CTAR video and blog post are initiative of the Global Dysphagia Movement (GDM).
缩下巴抗阻运动能训练你的上舌骨肌群，以打开进食通道（上食道括约肌），让食物顺利的进入胃。


The Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) exercise works on strengthening the suprahyoid muscles, necessary for opening your upper food pipe sphincter (or known as the upper esophageal sphincter) to allow food to enter the stomach. 
这个运动从袁伟琳先生于2013年创始后，就在国际间广为使用，我们希望这支影片可以提供更多执行运动的细节。我们计划将这只影片以及未来更多的影片翻成不同语言，提供世界各地使用。


Since CTAR was introduced in 2013, Mr Yoon (The CTAR inventor) has been receiving enquiries from clinicians from around the world. We hope that this video will provide the details to facilitate the carrying out of the exercise. There are plans to translate this video into different languages, so as to allow different people around the world to gain an understanding about the exercise and its proper usage.

NFOSD Dysphagia Webinar Series: Transitional Foods – Updates on Their Behavior, Use and Benefits in Adult & Pediatric Populations

Yoon Wai Lam

Date and time: Thu, Jul 23, 2020 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM SGT

Webinar Description:  

This webinar is for healthcare providers, patients and caregivers impacted by dysphagia, and students learning about swallowing disorders.

This presentation will define and categorize types of transitional foods.  We will discuss the potential benefits of improved choices, increased textures and ultimately improved dining enjoyment. Use of transitional foods in the pediatric population will be discussed with examples of use presented in specific special needs populations. The IDDSI testing method for transitional foods will be reviewed and the variation in results obtained with this test will be demonstrated between known transitional foods. We will share two research methods of evaluating the dissolution patterns of transitional foods in the oral environment will be described with relevant clinical implications.  The external environment (air, humidity, length of exposure) play a significant role in the transitional behavior of these foods and ultimately their safety. The oral environment (amount of saliva, degree of tongue pressure, anterior-posterior transit time) also has a significant impact as well.  Both groups of factors will be discussed in detail providing a broader scope of understanding of patient selection, and proper use.  Ultimately expanding our knowledge of transitional foods will improve our understanding of use with the goal of improving patient engagement and outcomes.

Learner Outcomes: 

  • Understand the difference between transitional food behaviors in the mouth in comparison to  IDDSI benchtop methods.
  • Classification of transitional foods and the importance of the oral environment
  • Learn the role transitional foods can play in dysphagia management
