Observational study links swallowing muscle characteristics to dysphagia, suggesting targeted rehabilitation may help.
Although swallowing muscles were affected in post-stroke dysphagia, a muscle group that predicts dysphagia has not been identified. MNA-SF was independently related to dysphagia; however, the observed association should be considered within the bidirectional framework. The assessment of swallowing muscles by US and the identification of affected muscles can improve the development of targeted rehabilitation programs.
