TL;DR: The results suggest that dual-axis accelerometry has merit in the non-invasive detection of unsafe swallows in children and deserves further consideration as a pediatric medical device.

TL;DR: The proposed method achieved more than 90% accuracy and similar values of sensitivity and specificity when compared to human ratings even when tested over swallows from an independent clinical experiment which demonstrates the clinical significance of high resolution cervical auscultation in replacing ionizing radiation-based evaluation of swallowing kinematics.

TL;DR: High-resolution cervical auscultation may offer a noninvasive alternative for dysphagia screening and additional diagnostic information and associations between the patients’ characteristics and auscULTations’ signals were observed.

TL;DR: A thorough comparative numerical analysis of fractal characterization techniques with specific consideration given to experimentally measured gait stride interval time series concludes that the averaged wavelet coefficient method can provide reasonable consistency and accuracy for characterizing these fractal time series.

TL;DR: The results indicated that while gait accelerometry is a valuable approach for the gait assessment, one has to carefully adopt any pre-processing steps as they alter the observed findings.
