MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE VOCAL DYNAMICS APPLIED TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE SWALLOWING BEHAVIOR
Keywords:
swallowing, dysphagia, artificial neural network.Abstract
The occurrence of dysphagia during swallowing, that is, difficult in the passage of the food bolus may originate from several organs related to swallowing. From the recognition of patterns for this movement and capture of signals under the responsible movement, it is possible to perform a mathematical study in order to evaluate the wear and decrease of the physiological ability of the muscles responsible for swallowing. From a low-cost system, based in the capture of audio and artificial neural networks, we propose a mathematical modeling to aid the diagnosis involving dysphagia in swallowing.
