Life has been so busy since I came back from DRS 2017. Finally, I have some time to put up this blog.
I was honored to be invited to present a research poster at DRS this year.
This is probably one of the best year for dysphagia research representation from Singapore as we have 2 oral presentations from Singapore General Hospital and 1 poster presentation (presented by me) from National University of Singapore.
My poster presentation was on Swallow with Chin Tuck Against Resistance (S-CTAR).
Some of the happy moments at DRS:
Portland, Oregon is really beautiful and … cold.
Finally get a chance to meet my Facebook pal, Nabil from Canada in person. We share a common interest in dysphagia. Lots of interesting discussion on dysphagia via WhatsApp and Facebook messenger.
Get to meet some old friends and made more new friends from all around the world.
managed to take a selfie with Dr Reza Shaker!
Happy to know that CTAR or Chin Tuck Against Resistance is a well known and well like exercise in USA and Brazil. Brazil Speech Pathologists informed me that they have started research on CTAR! I really hope that clinical study on CTAR will be out soon.
Most Speech-Language Pathologists were excited to know that S-CTAR can be used as a task specific exercise and foresee that they will use it in their dysphagia therapy or management.

with Dr Reza ShakerMy FB Pal, SLP from Canada – NabilKotomi Sakai – SLP from JapanSLP from BrazilDemonstrating CTAR to a dentist from JapanDemonstrating CTAR and S-CTARI am a new DRS member.This is new to me… Ironing sandwiches?!!!
I was asked a few interesting questions on CTAR. One of the few interesting question is: are there any devices in the market that you think is good to be used to perform CTAR? I think this is an interesting question as we have seen quite a number of devices (different type of balls, hand held devices etc) being introduced to the market since the first paper on CTAR was published in 2014.
Click S-CTAR Poster to download the poster that I presented at DRS 2017.
I will list out all those questions and answers in separate post soon.
To end this post, I would like to congratulate and express my appreciation to all the DRS committees for this successful and enlightening meeting.
