| 1. Premature loss of the bolus/reduced glossopalatal seal |
| 2. Reduced velopharyngeal closure |
| 3. Disrupted lingual propulsion (weak, disorganized) |
| 4. Delayed or absent swallow response (aspiration before swallow) |
| 5. Reduced epiglottic inversion |
| 6. Reduced pharyngeal propulsion (aspiration after swallow) |
| 7. Possible unilateral pharyngeal paresis (asymmetry) |
| 8. Reduced hyolaryngeal elevation |
| 9. Reduced laryngeal closure (aspiration during swallow) |
| 10. Reduced sensation to residue |
| 11. Reduced esophageal sphincter (UES) opening (aspiration after swallow) |
