It's completely non-invasive and results are immediate. But again if motility is the concern, then manometry is the way to go.

Yes, if you are having issues with aspiration its something with the Vocal Folds and or UES. So Yes that will be best to determine. Again, if thats the case you have something with Vocal Folds either Paresis are partial. My right vocal cord is completely paralyzed. Thank god it got stuck in a way that the left can compensate to close with the right otherwise I would aspirate.
