Abstract:
This letter notifies the readers of the Dysphagia journal of an error in the original published version of this manuscript, for which a previously available open source spreadsheet tool had been used to calculate the position of the hyoid bone or larynx on lateral view videofluoroscopic images. An error in the mathematical formula built into the spreadsheet 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.
