Filter by:Aim: Studies in which the results of the screening test evaluating swallowing skills in acute stroke patients are evaluated together with other components that may affect swallowing function are limited. The aim of this study is to determine which factors are associated with swallowing abilities in patients with acute stroke, including lesion location, cognitive level, clinical features, risk factors for stroke, and level of functionality. Methods: The 97 acute stroke patients included in the study were grouped in terms of lesion type, affected side, and risk factors for stroke. Turkish MMASA (TR-MMASA) was used to evaluate the swallowing ability of the patients. Additionally, Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) were applied to evaluate cognition level and functionality, respectively.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the effects of the type, area and duration of ulceration on jaw pain, mandibular function limitation, TMD and swallowing in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers.The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the change in foot structure due to diabetic foot ulcer have an effect on the temporomandibular jointand swalloving? - What are the determinants of tempomandibular dysfunction in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers? Participants (both groups) will be evaluated for quality of life, jaw functionality, mandibular dysfunction, oropharyngeal swallowing disorder, pain and diabetes complications.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of game-based biofeedback application via surface electromyography in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. The same treatment interventions will be applied with and without biofeedback, and thus the contribution of adding biofeedback to the treatment will be determined.
The transition period to full oral feeding in infants with perinatal asphyxia is important in predicting long-term outcomes. The transition to independent oral feeding is accepted as a discharge criterion by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the long transition from tube feeding to oral feeding prolongs the discharge process. Prolonged transition to oral feeding increases maternal stress as it delays gastrointestinal problems, mother-infant interaction and attachment, as well as increasing health expenditures. Due to long-term feeding tube use; Infection, leakage, delay in wound healing, trauma caused by repeated placement, as well as oral reluctance are observed. In asphyxia infants, in whom oral-motor dysfunction is common, the transition to oral feeding takes a long time and tube feeding support is required. The effect of hypothermia, which is a general therapeutic intervention that reduces the risk of mortality and morbidity in infants with asphyxia, on oral feeding has been previously studied and shown to have a positive effect. They also found that MR imaging in infants with asphyxia and the need for gastrostomy and tube feeding in those with brainstem involvement were associated. Various interventions that affect the transition to oral nutrition positively and shorten the discharge time are included in the literature. Stimulation of non-nutritive sucking (NNS) is the most frequently preferred method among these interventions. It has been shown in studies that there are no short-term negative effects of NNS stimulation with the help of a pacifier or gloved finger, and some clinical benefits such as better bottle feeding performance, acceleration of discharge and transition to oral feeding. The effect of the NNS stimulation method, which has been shown to be effective in preterm infants with large-scale randomized controlled studies, is not known exactly. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of NNS stimulation applied to oral feeding, feeding skills, weight gain and discharge in asphyxia infants receiving hypothermia treatment.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and CTAR (Chin Tuck Against Resistance) exercises on swallowing rehabilitation in stroke patients. In addition another aim is to examine the effects of these exercises on the swallowing function, quality of life, functional independence and functional oral intake of individuals, and to investigate the superiority of the exercises to each other in line with these features.
The aim of this study is to swallowing kinematics and suprahyoid muscle activation among Masako, Mendelsohn Maneuvers and new-designed Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver
A monocentric study to evaluate the french translation of Swallowing (SOAL-VF) Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) after Total PharyngoLaryngectomy
This study will investigate if the performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is associated or predictive of the outcomes in voice, swallowing or upper airway therapy in the older laryngology treatment seeking patients. The relationship between the scores of MoCA and parameters in therapy will be analyzed. The outcomes of this study could potentially impact how investigators determine candidacy for therapy and develop patient treatment plans to meet their needs. This is a collaborative study with Emory Voice Center and the NYU Voice Center.
This study aimed to gather more information regarding two clinically relevant tests: The Test of Mastication and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS) and the Timed Water Swallow Test (TWST). Both tests can be used clinically as part of swallowing disorders evaluation. The aims of the study were to assess the reliability of the two tests, to document the effects of age and gender on the outcome measures of the TOMASS and TWST and to explore the relationship between participants' function in the two tests. To do that, 298 healthy participants were included. All of them did not have dysphagia. Most of them were elderly.
In this prospective study we extracted acoustic parameters using PRAAT from patient's attempt to phonate during the clinical evaluation using a digital smart device. From these parameters we attempted (1) to define which of the PRAAT acoustic features best help to discriminate patients with dysphagia (2) to develop algorithms using sophisticated ML techniques that best classify those i) with dysphagia and those ii ) at high risk of respiratory complications due to poor cough force.
