EP 24: From brain lesion to dysphagia: the impact of stroke on swallowing with Janina Wilmskoetter

Listen Later

In this episode, Prof. Janina Wilmskoetter takes us on a journey into the depths of the brain to help us understand the potential impact of stroke on swallowing. 

Why does a stroke cause dysphagia in some people and not in others? And why do some recover more quickly than others? Does the location or size of the lesion matter at all? We had lots of questions for Janina and we were delighted that she joined us to share both her research findings on stroke and her clinical expertise as an SLT.
