[Dysphagia] audible swallow



I had been told at one time that an audible swallow is evidence of a 
"strong" swallow & was desirable.  This was during observing e-stim tx.  On 
the other hand, I have also heard that an audible swallow was a disordered 
swallow, indicating trouble with coordination.  I would also like further 
information!
