  • Ultrasound in Speech and Language Therapy - making sense of the Magic Eye image

    Ultrasound in Speech and Language Therapy - making sense of the Magic Eye image
    Oct 30 2020
    Welcome to SVS PodChats with Suzanne and Fiona speaking to Jodi Allen (a), Claire Slinger (b) and Sally Richmond (c) about using ultrasound in speech and language therapy clinical assessment.

    Ultrasound is an established clinical assessment modality - we are familiar with ultrasound in obstetrics or to assess integrity of the muscle tissue in neurological disease.
    Ultrasound of the head and neck is an emerging area of consideration for SLTs in respiratory, voice, and swallowing services, but will it become an important addition to our assessment?
    Interpreting the "Magic Eye" images demonstrates the potential of ultrasound for assessment of the larynx in inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO), assessment of the vocal folds after surgery and for assessment of the integrity of the structures important for swallowing.

    What is ultrasound and how can it add to the clinical picture?
    What is the evidence base for feasibility, utility, reliability and reproducibility?
    If this is in the vision for our future practice, what should we do now and what training is available?

    Our guests answer these and other questions, outline how they are contributing to building the evidence in collaboration with colleagues across the world, and imagine what the future may hold for the profession and our patients. Follow them on @SltUltrasound

    Thanks for listening, all feedback is much appreciated.

    Sep 21 2020

    This episode follows from the SVS PodChat "Perspectives from the UK and the USA: assessment and rehabilitation of dysphonia during the COVID-19 pandemic" and provides an update on how voice therapy services are being provided in the UK, six months into the pandemic.

    Suzanne chats with three renowned speech and language specialist voice therapists - Tori Burnay, Jane Shaw and Rachel Radford - about the impact of COVID-19 on their practice, how they have made adaptations for themselves and their patients and offers insights into their own and their patients' experiences.
    The discussion includes meeting the challenges of providing assessment and therapy sessions, highlights the key resources they have created and contributed to, plus tips to looking after ourselves and our own voice, all with warm and humorous personal insights.
