Correction to: Volumetric Changes to the Pharynx in Healthy Aging: Consequence for Pharyngeal Swallow Mechanics and Function (Dysphagia, (2019), 34, 1, (129-137), 10.1007/s00455-018-9924-5)

Abstract

This erratum notifies the readers of the Dysphagia journal of an error in the original published version of this manuscript. In that manuscript, a previously available open source spreadsheet tool was used to calculate the position of the posterior laryngeal air column on lateral view videofluoroscopic images as a proxy for the bottom of the pharynx. We have subsequently been made aware of an error in the mathematical formula built into the spreadsheet, which resulted in a reversal of the results for the X and Y planes of measurement. This erratum provides corrections to the results and interpretations of the original manuscript.
