This study was to investigate the correlation among swallowing function, dietary level, cognitive function, daily living, and comparison for general characteristics in stroke patients with dysphagia. Subjects of this study participated to 56 stroke patients with dysphagia. Outcome measures is evaluated by Functional Dysphagia Scale(FDS), and Amerian Speech-Language-Hearing Association National Outcomes Measurements System(ASHA NOMS), and Korean Mini-Mental State Examination(K-MMSE), and Korean Modified Barthel Index(K-MBI). Collected all data analyezed to independent t test for four assessments, and general characteristics of study subjects analyzed by pearson correlation coefficient for four assessments. Results of study, swallowing function according to lesion location differed significantly(p<.05). Cognitive function according to onset duration differed significantly(p<.05). Age of subjects and dietary level, cognitive function showed a significant correlation(p<.05). Swallowing function and dietary level, cognitive function showed a significant correlation(p<.05). Cognitive function and dietary level, daily living showed a significant correlation(p<.05). Based on current results, we suggest that swallowing rehabilitation for stroke patients with dysphagia performed with consideration for cognitive function and characteristic of patients.

Swallowing impairment is a frequent complication following stroke. The characteristics of swallowing impairment with stork patient can facilitate identification of individuals at risk of dysphagia would be of great helpful. The present study examined oropharyngeal swallowing impairment with subacute stroke patients using the Modified Barium Swallowing Impairment Profile(MBSImP). The 49 consecutive patients with the supratentorial stroke met inclusion criteria for the present study. A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent the videofluoroscopic swallowing study(VFSS). Of Stroke patients, 95.9% exhibited abnormal function of lip closure. 98% and 57.1 % shown abnormal tongue function and lingual motion, respectively. Oral residue was present in 51% and delayed pharyngeal response was present in 89.9%. In addition, abnormal laryngeal and hyoid excursion was seen in 42.9% and 87.8%, respectively. Abnormal function of soft palate elevation was present in 18.4% and abnormal epiglottic movement was seen in 4.1%. 30.6% of 30.6% of these patients exhibited abnormal laryngeal closure. All of the stroke patients(100%) in this study exhibited abnormal pharyngeal stripping wave and pharyngoesophageal segment opening. Abnormal tongue base retraction and oral reside were present 91.8%, respectively. The results suggest that stroke patient is more likely to exhibit reduced swallowing functions including lip closure, tongue control, initiation of pharyngeal swallow, anterior hyoid motion, tongue base retraction, pharyngeal residue and pharyngoesophageal contraction. Therefore, these data could provide valid and precise information regarding physiological evidence to delineate symptoms of dysphagia in this stroke cohort. Future studies should explore the bolus effect in the swallowing impairment.

The aim of this study was investigated the effect of orofacial exercise program using smart phone on swallowing function and tongue strength in acute stroke patients with dysphagia. This study participated in sixteen acute stroke patients with dysphagia. All subjects allocated that randomized each eight patients in experimental and control groups. Subjects of both group received to conventional dysphagia therapy during 30 min/day, 5 times per week, for 4 weeks. Experimental group performed additionally that orofacial exercise program using smart phone, supervised under caregivers, during 30 min/day. The outcome measures were the IOPI(: Iowa Oral Performance Instrument), VR(: Vellecula Residue), PSR(: Pyriform Sinuses Residue), MIP(: Maximum Isometric Pressures). In results of study. Both group showed significant improvements after intervention in all assessments(p<.05). In comparison of change score between two groups, experimental group showed significant improvements than control group in PSR and MIP(p<.05). Orofacial exercise program using smart phone suggested that expected to positive effects the reduction of residue in pharynx and improvements of tongue strength in acute stroke patients with dysphagia.

Chin Tuck Against Resistance Exercise(CTARE) and Shaker exercise is used to common for strengthening of suprahyoid muscle. No previous studies was compare of two exercises for patients with dyaphagia. This study investigated the effects of CTARE and Shaker exercise on suprahyoid, sternocleidomastoid muscle activity in stroke older patients with dysphagia. Ten stroke patients with dyaphagia voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects was performed in the order in the CTARE (isometric, isokinetic), Shaker (isometric, isokinetic), and repeated each ten trials. After CTARE was performed, subjects took a 5 min wash out period to minimize muscle fatigue. Activity of suprahyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscle during two training was analyzed using surface electromyography(sEMG). Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to assess differecences for muscles activity between the effects of the CTAR and Shaker exercise within group. CTARE and Shaker exercise showed no significant difference activity in suprahyoid muscle(p > .05). CTARE showed significantly lower muscle activity in sternocleidomastoid muscle than Shaker exercise(p < .05). CTARE in stroke older patients with dysphagia may be a effective intervention to improve swallowing function than Shaker exercise.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to establish scientific evidence though a systematic review, of the existing interventional methods and their respective effects, for swallowing disorders among dementia patients. The interventional methods were based on patient characteristics. Methods : An electronic literature search was performed using five electronic databases from 2010 to 2020. The keywords were 'Dementia', 'Alzheimer disease', 'Deglutition disorder', 'Swallowing disorder', 'Dysphagia'. Five articles met the inclusion criteria. Results : One study with moderate-to-severe and four studies with severe dementia patients were included. The interventions consisted of one remedial intervention, three compensatory interventions, and one comprehensive intervention. Compensatory intervention, including behavioral and psychological management, were used in moderate-to-severe patients. For the severe patients, remedial, compensatory, and comprehensive intervention were used to address the feeding tube problem. The interventions used in each study had a positive effect on the outcome variables associated with swallowing ability. Conclusion : The purpose of the intervention and the intervention factors changed depending on the patient's dementia stage. The intervention was effective when considering the progressive stage of the patient. These results may serve as a guide in designing effective interventions for swallowing disorders in dementia patients.

We have to consider two parts of the evaluation and treatment for the patients with head and neck burns. The primary consideration is swallowing function for nutrition supply for them and the next is speech function for efficient communication and aesthetic impression of them. The purpose of this study is to summarize the preliminary questions of Communication Screening Protocols which can help understand comprehensively on swallowing disorder, motor speech disorder and voice disorder of patients with head and neck burns. We divided the evaluation into 4 evaluation areas including 'oral mechanism', 'respiration/voice', 'articulation', and 'swallowing' by referring to overseas studies dealing with various communication disorders caused by burns, and prepared the final questionnaires by conducting the content validity verification by five expert (speech & language pathologist). The range of Content Validity Index was shown relatively appropriate with .50~.84. There was a conflict of opinions in experts whether the items in the areas of respiration/voice and swallowing may be appropriate, whereas there was no different view of the oral mechanism and articulation area. Through the different characteristics of communication difficulties of patients with head and neck burns, we expect it will be modified appropriately according to the patients through evaluation of burn patients by type and severity.

The purpose of this study was to look into changes in voice using acoustic analysis during the process of neuromuscular electrical stimulation targeting dysphagia treatment. Fifteen man with dysphagia caused by stroke was treated neuromuscular electrical stimulation for two months and intensity of voice, $F_0$, Jitter, Shimmer, NNE were measured. The results of this study that improvement in functions of dysphagia and Jitter, Shimmer were stabilized. But there was not significantly changes of $F_0$. NNE was improved after the intervention, but still showed abnormal levels. This result suggests a possibility of effects that Neuromuscular electrical stimulation has on stabilization of Jitter, Shimmer and intensity of voice.

Dysphagia incidence can be up to 90% of patients after CVA disease and most of the patients demonstrate speech problems as well as dysphagia. The term of swallowing includes the entire process of deglutition from the placement of food in the mouth until the food enters to the esophagus through the oral and pharyngeal cavities. Swallowing functions share common anatomic structures and characteristics of physiology with speech in many aspects. Therefore, speech-language pathologists can help people with swallowing disorders. Herein the approaches and rationales for improving speech and swallowing functions in patients with stroke need to be discussed depending on the lesion sites of the brain.

Objective : This case study aimed to explore dysphagia symptoms in post-cardiac transplantation patients and evaluate the effectiveness of dysphagia rehabilitation therapy in an occupational therapy clinic. Methods : A patient with post-cardiac transplant dysphagia underwent videofluoroscopic swallowing studies to assess the Functional Dysphagia Scale (FDS), Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), and Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS). Assessments were performed three times at two-week intervals. The treatment, administered from July 19 to August 21, 2023, included eight sessions of 30 minutes each. Treatments included corrective techniques (tongue-hold maneuver, chin tuck against resistance, mendelsohn maneuver, effortful swallowing, and respiratory muscle exercise) and compensatory strategies (chin-tuck position, multiple swallowing, modification of volume, and viscosity), alongside caregiver education. Results : The FDS scores decreased from 50 to 30, PAS scores improved from 5 to 3, and DOSS scores improved from Stage 2 to Stage 4. Conclusion : Dysphagia rehabilitation therapy improved swallowing function in a post-cardiac transplantation patient. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings.
