About MBSImP

The Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP) is a standardized approach to interpreting modified barium swallow studies. It evaluates 17 physiologic components across the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases of swallowing.

Oral Phase (C1-C6)

Lip closure, tongue control, mastication, transport, residue, initiation

Pharyngeal Phase (C7-C16)

Soft palate, laryngeal elevation, airway protection, contraction, PES opening

Esophageal (C17)

Esophageal clearance when visible during the study
