9.6.9 Anterior Hyoid Excursion
This component evaluates the forward movement of the hyoid bone during swallowing. Anterior excursion of the hyoid is essential for effective epiglottic inversion and opening of the UES. We study the angle of the thyroid cartilage relative to the position of the hyoid bone, at the height of the pharyngeal swallow or maximal anterior displacement of the hyoid bone. Limited movement can result in pharyngeal residue and increased aspiration risk due to incomplete airway protection (Fig u r e 9.9a–d).
Figure 9.9 Component 9: Anterior Hyoid Excursion. 0 = Complete anterior movement. Acute ang le (45° or less) between the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone at the height of anterior hyoid move- ment. 1 = Partial anterior movement. Thyroid cartilage is more in a direct line (greater than 45° but less than 90°) with the hyoid at the height of anterior hyoid movement. 2 = No anterior movement. No appreciable anterior movement of the hyoid bone. The hyoid does not deviate from the 90° angle with the thyroid cartilage.
0: Complete anterior movement.
1: Partial anterior movement.
2: No anterior movement.

9.6.10 Epiglottic Movement
This component assesses the degree of inversion of the epiglottis over the laryngeal inlet during swallowing.
Complete epiglottic inversion provides critical protection against aspiration. Insufcient inver­sion exposes the airway to bolus entry during the swallow. We evaluate laryngeal elevation and anterior traction of the hyolaryngeal complex resulting in inferior displacement of the epiglot­tis, at the height of the pharyngeal swallow or maximal anterior displacement of the hyoid bone (Figure9.10a–d).
Figure 9.10 Component 10: Epiglottic Movement. 0 = Complete inversion. Complete inferior dis­placement of the epiglottis. 1 = Partial inversion. Movement of the epiglottis up to a horizontal posi­tion, but with no progression beyond this point. A score of (1) would also be given if the epiglottis moves inferiorly but does not reach a horizontal position. 2 = No inversion. Minimal to no move­ment of the epiglottis.
0: Full inversion over the laryngeal inlet.
1: Partial inversion.
2: No inversion.

9.6.11 Laryngeal Vestibular Closure
This component evaluates the closure of the laryngeal vestibule during swallowing, which includes the supraglottic and glottic structures that form the nal protective barrier to the airway.
Effective closure of the laryngeal vestibule prevents penetration and aspiration. Incomplete clo­sure may allow the bolus or residue to enter the airway, increasing the risk for aspiration pneumonia. This is scored during the late closure of the laryngeal vestibule, at the height of the pharyngeal swallow or maximal anterior displacement of the hyoid bone (Figure 9.11a–d).
Figure 9.11 Component 11: Laryngeal Vestibule Closure. 0 = Complete; no air/contrast in laryn­geal vestibule. Complete closure with no air or contrast in the laryngeal vestibule. 1 = Incomplete; narrow column of air/contrast in laryngeal vestibule. Characterized by a narrow column of air or contrast in the laryngeal vestibule. 2 = None; wide column of air/contrast in laryngeal vestibule. No closure with a wide column of air or contrast in the laryngeal vestibule.
0: Complete closure; no air or contrast enters the laryngeal vestibule.
1: Incomplete closure with a narrow column of contrast or air.
2: No closure; wide column of contrast or air enters the vestibule.

9.6.12 Pharyngeal Stripping Wave
The pharyngeal stripping wave refers to the sequential contraction of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles that clears the bolus through the pharynx into the esophagus.
A diminished or absent stripping wave may result in pharyngeal residue, prolonged swallow time, and secondary aspiration from pooled material. This component evaluates the progressive contraction of the pharyngeal constrictors, at the full length of the posterior pharyngeal wall from the nasopharynx to the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES), during the full duration of the pharyn­geal swallow (Fig ure 9.12 a–d).
Figure 9.12 Component 12: Pharyngeal Stripping Wave. 0 = Present—complete. Full contrac­tion from the nasopharynx to the level of the PES at the time of collapse. 1 = Present—diminished. Diminished pharyngeal stripping wave along any portion of the pharyngeal wall. 2 = Absent. Complete absence of the pharyngeal stripping wave along the entire pharyngeal wall, often repre­sented by a straight line of the posterior pharyngeal wall throughout the swallow.
0: Complete and coordinated stripping wave.
1: Incomplete or reduced stripping wave.
2: Absent stripping wave.

9.6.13 Pharyngeal Contraction
This component assesses the inward and upward movement of the pharyngeal walls during swal­lowing. It is typically best visualized in the anteroposterior (AP) view, observing the pharyngeal walls both at rest and during maximum movement. Adequate pharyngeal contraction contributes to effective bolus clearance. Impaired contraction can lead to pharyngeal residue, inefcient swal­lowing, and potential post-swallow aspiration (Figu r e 9.13a–e).
Figure 9.13 Component 13: Pharyngeal Contraction. 0 = Complete. Symmetrical shortening and complete inward compression of the pharynx. Lateral walls are relatively straight during shorten­ing and compress against the bolus tail through the pharynx, bilaterally. 1 = Incomplete (pseudodi­verticulum). Incomplete contraction represented by dynamic pouches. Typically unilateral and in the high to mid-pharynx, lateral to the valleculae. 2 = Unilateral bulging. Unilateral bulging of one pharyngeal wall extends the full length of the pharynx. May be distinguishable at rest. 3 = Bilateral bulging. Outward bulging of both pharyngeal walls.
0: Complete contraction with medial movement of the pharyngeal walls.
1: Incomplete contraction with visible pseudodiverticulae.
2: Unilateral bulging of the pharyngeal wall.
3: Bilateral bulging with signicantly reduced contraction.

9.6.14 Pharyngoesophageal Segment Opening
The component evaluates the distention and duration of opening at the pharyngoesophageal seg­ment, also known as the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), during bolus passage and maximum distention of PES through closure. Adequate PES opening is critical for bolus clearance into the esophagus. Impaired opening can cause residue in the pyriform sinuses and backow into the pharynx, increasing aspiration risk (Fig ure 9.14a–e).
Figure 9.14 Component 14: Pharyngoesophageal Segment Opening. 0 = Complete distension, complete duration, no obstruction of ow. Straight edges throughout the segment with no appre­ciable narrowing from the pharynx to the proximal esophagus. PES remains distended long enough for the entire bolus to pass through the esophageal inlet. 1 = Partial distension, partial duration, partial obstruction of ow. A score of (1) can be represented in several ways: (1) Narrowing of the PES at the esophageal inlet while maintaining opening long enough for most of the bolus to pass. (2) Adequate distension of the PES but with early collapse allowing most of the bolus to pass. (3) Both narrowing and early collapse of the PES resulting in partial obstruction. 2 = Minimal distension, minimal duration, marked obstruction to ow. A score of (2) can appear as follows: (1) Signicant narrowing of the PES resulting in resistance to bolus passage. (2) Rapid collapse of the PES allow­ing only a minimal portion of the bolus to pass. (3) Both signicant narrowing and rapid collapse of the PES resulting in marked obstruction. 3 = No distension with total obstruction to ow. The PES does not open, and there is no bolus clearance. Generally results in the need for the patient to expectorate. Escape into the laryngeal vestibule or nasal cavity is common.

0: Complete distention and appropriate duration.
1: Partial distention and/or shortened duration.
2: Minimal distention with marked obstruction.
3: No opening of the PES.
9.6.15 Tongue Base Retraction
This component evaluates the posterior movement of the tongue base toward the posterior pharyn­geal wall during the pharyngeal phase of swallowing.
Adequate tongue base retraction is necessary to generate pharyngeal pressure and ensure ef­cient bolus propulsion. Inadequate retraction leads to vallecular residue and incomplete bolus clear­ance. Here we study the posterior retraction of the tongue resulting in approximation of the tongue base (TB) with the anteriorly displacing pharyngeal wall (PW) and especially the presence and degree of bolus or air between the TB and PW, during maximal retraction of the tongue and maxi­mum posterior movement (Figu re 9.15a –f).
Figure 9.15 Component 15: Tongue Base Retraction. 0 = No contrast between TB and PW in the lateral viewing plane; it resembles a “merging” of the tongue base and pharyngeal wall. 1 = Trace column of contrast or air between TB and PW. Represented by only a trace column of contrast or air between the TB and PW. 2 = Narrow column of contrast or air between TB and PW. Resembles an amount of air or contrast similar to “collection” (Components 5 and 16). 3 = Wide column of air or contrast between TB and PW. 4 = No visible posterior motion of TB. Despite initiating a swallow, the patient below demonstrates no appreciable posterior motion of the TB.

9.6.16 Pharyngeal Residue
Here we study contrast material remaining in the pharynx after completion of the rst swallow, or following the last swallow of the sequential swallowing task (Fig ure 9.16a–f).

Trace, or lining, of residue within or on any of the pha­ryngeal structures. 2 = Residue collection within or on pharyngeal structures, an amount sufcient to extract or “scoop” from the pharynx. 3 = Majority of contrast within or on pharyngeal structures; > half of the bolus remains in the pharynx, relative to the bolus size. 4 = Minimal to no pharyngeal clearance.
0: Complete clearance.
1: Trace retention.
2: Collection of residue within or on pharyngeal structures.

9.6.17 Esophageal Clearance
This component observes the bolus as it moves through the esophagus while the patient is in an upright seated position. Impaired esophageal motility or obstruction may result in bolus retention or retrograde ow. Identication is critical for appropriate referral (Figure 9.17a–f).
Figure 9.17 Component 17: Esophageal Clearance. 0 = Complete clearance, esophageal coating, after a primary or secondary wave of contraction. There may be esophageal coating resembling a trace outline of the lining of the esophagus. 1 = Esophageal retention. Esophageal retention after a primary or secondary wave of contraction. May resemble a ”collection” of contrast material any­where along the full length of the esophagus. 2 = Esophageal retention with retrograde ow below the PES. 3 = Esophageal retention with retrograde ow through the PES. 4 = Minimal to no esopha­geal clearance.
0: Complete clearance.
1: Residue remaining.
2: Retrograde ow below PES.
3: Retrograde ow through PES.
4: Minimal to no esophageal clearance.
