Filter by:1. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of sonography. 2. To explore that sonography is a clinically practical tool for assessing the changes of oropharyngeal muscles mass. 3. The Comparisons the differences in clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, and muscle strength/ sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles among the stroke patients with dysphagia in different swallowing training programs. 4. To investigate the associations among clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, muscle strength and sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia. 5. The changes of clinical swallowing function, and muscle strength of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia after different swallowing training programs. 6. The changes in sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia after different swallowing training programs. 7. Effect of different swallowing therapies in clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, and muscle strength/ sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia. 8. The associations between clinical swallowing function, oropharyngeal muscle strength, and sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia.
Few methods were available to determine which muscle groups are associated with PD in details in previous investigations. Local steroid administration has shown some effects on PD in a large number meta-analysis. In this study, we aimed to conduct a prospective randomized-double blinded study to exam the efficacy and the safety of the local steroid administration on ACDF patients by using high resolution impedance manometry in patients receiving ACDF.
The main topic of the research is to investigate the tongue's strength when swallowing. There has been much foreign literature on tongue strength. Iowa Oral Performance Instrument also has norms for reference, but the data are all taken from non-Asian people such as Caucasians. In this case, the credibility of the norms are decreased in domestic, and we also lack norm data of tongue strength when swallowing. Through the research, we can establish normative data belonging to the domestics, provide usable data for domestic researchers and clinical staff, and explore whether there are differences in age and gender in data between Taiwanese and foreigners.
Laryngeal disorders after childhood cardiac surgery is a complication well described in the literature. However, the long term progression of the affected children has never been studied (all the studies stopped before 2 years of follow up).
The aim of the study is to analyze the effects of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) on oral dysphagia (OD) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
To compare efficacy and safety of a new modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization with Corpak 10-10-10 protocol and electromagnetic guided catheterization for treatment of patients with dysphagia and at high-risk of aspiration pneumonia. We conducted a single-center, single-blinded, and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 63 patients were treated with the non-gravity type CORFLO gastrointestinal feeding tube between 2017.1 and 2019.1 using different procedures: in the M group, patients underwent modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside placement; in C group, patients underwent conventional Corpak protocol; in EM group, patients received standard electromagnetic guided tube placement.
Health care staff in the municipalities do not always have the necessary competencies to treat patients with dysphagia. At the present neurorehabilitation hospital dysphagia examinations for outpatients are provided. The objective is to investigate the effect of a specialized outpatient dysphagia unit for subjects with dysphagia following neurological illness. Occupational therapists from the outpatient dysphagia unit will train with subjects for 2-3 weeks, and supervise furter training provided by health care staff in the municipalities.
In many cases, the manometric examination is not feasible because of the pharyngeal sinusitis or pharyngeal torsion. In addition, although previous conventional manometry was used to estimate pharyngeal swallowing, the bolus flow transmission was still not evaluated, which still depended on the videofluoscopic swallowing studies. High resolution impedance manometry could help us to measure the bolus flow according to the impedance changes. However, the comparison between two approach methods of postoperative recovery of swallowing function is still inconclusive. The investigator aimed to examine the correlation between high-resolution manometric and videofluoroscopic measurements of the swallowing function.
Stroke affects the vital activities of daily living such as breathing and swallowing. After stroke excursion of the diaphragm reduces about 50%, and also the maximum expiratory pressure of the individual 50% or higher. Dysphagia occurs in 29% to 45% of the acute stroke cases.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of a technique called esophageal dilation in patients who complain of trouble swallowing. In patients with esophageal stricture we want to determine if the size of the esophageal dilator makes a difference in symptoms and outcomes. In patients who do not have an obvious esophageal stricture we want to determine if esophageal dilation is an effective therapy in these patients.
