Abstract: | Ageing is characterised by a progressive loss of physiological integrity leading to functional decline, increased vulnerability and fragility. It involves changes in stomatognathic structures involved in swallowing that influence the swallowing mechanics of the elderly, where these changes influence the safety and efficiency of swallowing. There is a lack of consensus on the best way to carry out the diagnostic process of dysphagia, as the scientific literature does not clearly distinguish between screening and clinical assessment of dysphagia, leading to confusion in the design of protocols. The purpose of this study was to carry out a review of the literature on the speech therapy assessment protocols with the most scientific evidence for diagnosing and monitoring dysphagia in the geriatric population, in order to identify and determine the best evidence, and to provide an updated review of the assessment protocols. It is considered essential to monitor swallowing, through regular screening and clinical supervision, both in people without dysphagia and in people with dysphagia, where reassessment involves, in one case, early detection and, in the other, updating the intervention as the dysphagia evolves. The results obtained, concluded that the assessment should be integral, recommending to assess the use of methods similar to it and to include or complement it with instruments that distinguish different types of food, their consistencies (liquids and solids) and volumes to be administered, and provide effective and safe dietetic recommendations. |
