Biomechanical Quantification of Mendelsohn Maneuver and Effortful Swallowing on Pharyngoesophageal Function
TLDR
Effortful and Mendelsohn maneuver swallows significantly alter the pharyngoesophageal pressure profile and faster opening of the upper esophageAL sphincter may facilitate bolus transfer during maneuver swallow; however, reduced proximal esophagal contractility during Mendel sohn maneuver swallow may impair bolus flow and aggravate dysphagic symptoms.
