BackgroundDysphagia, common post-stroke, elevates clinical risks. Muscle atrophy and compromised function correlate with malnutrition and secondary sarcopenia.ObjectiveWe studied oral muscle thickness, tongue strength/endurance in post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) using sonography and Iowa Oral Performanc...
