Dr Crary’s research interest focus on swallowing and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) in adults. His current projects address the application of exercise based interventions to improve swallowing function in adults with chronic, treatment refractory dysphagia, oral sensory deficits as components of dysphagia in patients treated for head/neck cancer, and swallow frequency as a marker for dysphagia or related deterioration in swallow function in aging and disease.
