The practice-oriented reference book on F.O.T.T. according to Kay Coombes has been fundamentally revised and is available in the 5th edition from Springer-Verlag.

The focus is on the individual support and participation of patients with dysphagia and disorders of breathing, voice, speech and facial expression, as well as therapeutic oral hygiene.

• New case studies illustrate clinical reasoning and decision-making processes.
• For the first time, the effects of postural control and tactile facilitation of swallowing are visualised in the FEES endoscopic swallowing examination.
• 179 illustrations in 17 chapters show the procedure and hands-on work, including the treatment of children with cerebral palsy, patients with facial palsy, therapy in the prone position and during FEES.
• Supplemented by background knowledge, including the influence of posture and fascia, coordination of breathing and swallowing in therapy for children and adults and tracheostomy tube management.
• Algorithm and consensus updates show the way.
