Dysphagia
Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty in swallowing food and/or liquid. It is common among people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, dementia, neck/throat cancer, stroke and brain injury/tumors. Dysphagia can be diagnosed through swallowing assessment by a speech therapist
Texture modification is when food is mashed or pureed to make it safer to eat. When people have problems with swallowing, or controlling food within their mouth, they may require a texture modified diet to reduce the risk of choking or aspiration.
IDDSI is an acronym for “International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative”.
The IDDSI framework consists of a continuum of 8 levels (0-7), where drinks are measured from Levels 0 – 4, while foods are measured from Levels 3 – 7.
The IDDSI Framework provides a common terminology to describe food textures and drink thickness. IDDSI tests are intended to confirm the flow or textural characteristics of a particular product at the time of testing. For more detailed information on IDDSI, visit www.IDDSI.org.
