Using a definition based on Bowlby and Pörn, an effort is made to interpret adaptedness and coping in 87 dysphagic students (corresponding to a prevalence of dysphagia in 9% of the boys and 12% of the girls) found in a screening study utilizing a questionnaire. Coping patterns and methods of adaptation were explored in a telephone interview with dysphagic students. Those who stated that their dysphagia influenced their daily living were classified as subjectively maladapted (S-maladapted; n=9). Compared with the S-adapted students, the S-maladapted students reported more defects in ability to eat, more inappropriate beliefs about the causes and management of dysphagia, and greater desires regarding eating than S-adapted students (p<0.05). The environmental conditions more often impaired the eating ability in S-maladapted students (p<0.05). Anxiety at mealtime was reported more frequently than in S-adapted students (p<0.05). Every second S-maladapted student had reduced self-esteem because of dysphagia (p<0.05). The S-maladapted students had talked about their dysphagia with parents and/or friends and visited a school physician because of dysphagia more often than S-adapted students (p<0.05). Two of 9 students felt confirmed by the physician and experienced help. There was concordance beween the students' own beliefs regarding the causes of dysphagia and corresponding coping strategy. 相似文献

This article is mainly based on interview studies of pensioners' (n=62), patients' (n=19), and students' (n=87) experiences of living with longstanding esophageal dysphagia. The aim is to describe the experiential meaning of dysphagic patients' lives by interpreting their experiences, problems, and emotions and by specifying these into scales according to the model of goal-directed action by Pörn [43–49]. The experiential meaning will be articulated in terms of attainment or nonattainment of goals in relation to eating, handicap, adaptedness, and confirmation. In the experiential meaning of eating, the emphasis is on the attainment of nourishing goals or goals attained by means of food with desired hedonistic qualities and linked with feelings of hope or no hope of a shared life. The experiential meaning of handicap is interpreted as the dysphagic individual's experiences of an actual nonattainment of eating goals due to swallowing disabilities and with experiences of nonattainment of other important goals and related emotions; for example, shame for human incompetence. The experiential meaning of adaptedness is understood as the dysphagic individual's experiences of actual capacity for goal attainments interpreted as a sense of control in the daily living with dysphagia and linked with security, or in the negative case, reduced self-esteem and feelings of panic or fear. The experiential meaning of confirmation is interpreted as the dysphagic individual's experiences of actual or potential repertoire for goal attainment, i.e., self-assessment strengthened by evidence obtained in relationships linked with emotions of hope of selfrealization. In conclusion, a specific model for understanding the dysphagic patient's concealment of dysphagia in the medical encounter has been developed. 相似文献

It is unclear whether there is any difference in esophageal motor abnormalities between patients complaining of dysphagia
for solids or both solids and liquids. The aim of this study was to determine any difference in the manometric findings between
patients with dysphagia for solids and those with mixed dysphagia. Manometric tracings were performed in 200 consecutive patients
(66M, 134F; mean age = 51 years) with nonobstructive dysphagia. Ambulatory pH studies were performed in all patients. Subjects
were divided into two groups: patients with solid dysphagia (n = 94, 33M, 61 F; mean age = 51 years) and those with mixed dysphagia (n = 106, 33M, 73F; mean age = 51 years). A normal motility study was the most frequent finding. Achalasia occurred more frequently
in patients with mixed dysphagia than in those with solid dysphagia (12% vs. 3%, p < 0.01). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was observed in 59% of patients with solid dysphagia compared with 29% of
patients with mixed dysphagia (p < 0.02). The most common esophageal motility abnormality is nonspecific esophageal motility disorders. This study has shown
that abnormal esophageal motility occurs slightly more in mixed dysphagia than solid dysphagia. The clinical utility of a
symptomatic differentiation of patients with solid or mixed dyphagia appears to be limited. 相似文献

Poststroke dysphagia is frequent and significantly increases patient mortality. In two thirds of cases there is a spontaneous
improvement in a few weeks, but in the other third, oropharyngeal dysphagia persists. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
(rTMS) is known to excite or inhibit cortical neurons, depending on stimulation frequency. The aim of this noncontrolled pilot
study was to assess the feasibility and the effects of 1-Hz rTMS, known to have an inhibitory effect, on poststroke dysphagia.
Seven patients (3 females, age = 65 ± 10 years), with poststroke dysphagia due to hemispheric or subhemispheric stroke more
than 6 months earlier (56 ± 50 months) diagnosed by videofluoroscopy, participated in the study. rTMS at 1 Hz was applied
for 20 min per day every day for 5 days to the healthy hemisphere to decrease transcallosal inhibition. The evaluation was
performed using the dysphagia handicap index and videofluoroscopy. The dysphagia handicap index demonstrated that the patients
had mild oropharyngeal dysphagia. Initially, the score was 43 ± 9 of a possible 120 which decreased to 30 ± 7 (p < 0.05) after rTMS. After rTMS, there was an improvement of swallowing coordination, with a decrease in swallow reaction
time for liquids (p = 0.0506) and paste (p < 0.01), although oral transit time, pharyngeal transit time, and laryngeal closure duration were not modified. Aspiration
score significantly decreased for liquids (p < 0.05) and residue score decreased for paste (p < 0.05). This pilot study demonstrated that rTMS is feasible in poststroke dysphagia and improves swallowing coordination.
Our results now need to be confirmed by a randomized controlled study with a larger patient population.

Deglutitive aspiration is common after stroke and can have devastating consequences. While the application of oral sensory stimulation as a treatment for dysphagia remains controversial, data from our laboratory have suggested that it may increase corticobulbar excitability, which in previous work was correlated with swallowing recovery after stroke. Our study assessed the effects of oral stimulation at the faucial pillar on measures of swallowing and aspiration in patients with dysphagic stroke. Swallowing was assessed before and 60 min after 0.2-Hz electrical or sham stimulation in 16 stroke patients (12 male, mean age = 73 ± 12 years). Swallowing measures included laryngeal closure (initiation and duration) and pharyngeal transit time, taken from digitally acquired videofluoroscopy. Aspiration severity was assessed using a validated penetration-aspiration scale. Preintervention, the initiation of laryngeal closure, was delayed in both groups, occurring 0.66 ± 0.17 s after the bolus arrived at the hypopharynx. The larynx was closed for 0.79 ± 0.07 s and pharyngeal transit time was 0.94 ± 0.06 s. Baseline swallowing measures and aspiration severity were similar between groups (stimulation: 24.9 ± 3.01; sham: 24.9 ± 3.3, p = 0.2). Compared with baseline, no change was observed in the speed of laryngeal elevation, pharyngeal transit time, or aspiration severity within subjects or between groups for either active or sham stimulation. Our study found no evidence for functional change in swallow physiology after faucial pillar stimulation in dysphagic stroke. Therefore, with the parameters used in this study, oral stimulation does not offer an effective treatment for poststroke patients.Abbreviations: mA = milliamps; FP = faucial pillar; LCD = laryngeal closure duration; OTT = oral transit time; PTT = pharyngeal transit time; SRT = swallow response time; TMS = transcranial magnetic stimulation; UES = upper esophageal sphincter. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between aspiration and seven other variables indicative of pharyngeal stage dysphagia. Additionally, we looked at the relationship between aspiration and oral stage dysphagia. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified five independent predictors of aspiration that were significant at thep=0.05 level: vallecular stasis, reduced hyoid elevation, deviant epiglottic function, diffuse hypopharygeal stasis, and delayed initiation of the pharyngeal stage of the swallow. A linear trend was observed in that, as the severity of vallecular stasis, or delayed initiation of the pharyngeal stage of the swallow increased, the proportion of patients who aspirated also increased. A stepwise logistic regression model furnished estimates of the odds ratio for each independent variable and can be used by clinicians to calculate the risk of aspiration in patients who demonstrate pharyngeal stage dysphagia.This work was conducted while all authors were at the VA Medical Center, Iowa City, Iowa, USA. 相似文献

The case of a young women with dysphagia, regurgitation, and weight loss, who was diagnosed as having anorexia nervosa but
in whom reevaluation showed that achalasia was causing the symptoms, is presented together with related observations. Misinterpretation
of esophageal symptoms may occur not only as a consequence of inadequate history taking and of being biased by a patient's
emaciation, age, and gender, which leads to view certain aspects of the patient's history and behavior as suggesting a pathologic
attitude towards eating and body weight, but also as a consequence of a misinterpretation of the symptoms as indicative of
an eating disorder by the patients themselves. In some cases a disordered attitude toward eating and body weight may develop
together or coexist with achalasia. The clinical evaluation of patients with symptoms suggestive of anorexia nervosa but also
of bulimia nervosa should include the taking of a thorough history regarding swallowing and vomiting in order to recognize
a possible esophageal motor disorder. 相似文献

Patients with Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) underwent surface electromyography (sEMG) evaluation to determine sEMG patterns specific for ZD. Group 1 comprised patients with proven long-standing ZD that refused surgical treatment (n = 11, age mean = 55.7 years). Group 2 comprised surgically operated on patients with ZD (n = 6, age mean = 61 years). The timing, amplitude, and graphic patterns of activity of the masseter, submental, and laryngeal strap muscles were examined during voluntary single water swallows (“normal”), single swallows of excessive amounts of water (20 ml, “stress test”), and continuous drinking of 100 cc of water. The muscle activity in pharyngeal and initial esophageal stages of swallowing was measured, and graphic records were evaluated in relation to timing and voltage. The data were compared with the previously established normative database. The main sEMG patterns of ZD are (1) duration of swallowing and drinking is longer than normal (p < 0.05), (2) electric amplitude of laryngeal strap muscles during swallowing activity is higher than normal (p < 0.05), and (3) regurgitation peaks immediately after swallow followed by secondary swallow of the regurgitated portion of a bolus as seen at the sEMG records are specific graphic patterns for the ZD. Zenker’s diverticulum has its own specific sEMG patterns. Surface EMG, being an important screening method for patients with dysphagia, is a valuable additional diagnostic tool for ZD. Because it is noninvasive and nonradiographic, it can be used for monitoring of long-standing cases of the disease as well as monitoring of postsurgical recovery. 相似文献

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common degenerative motor neuron disease in adults, and dysphagia is one of
its most frequent and disabling symptoms. Oropharyngoesophageal scintigraphy (OPES) permits a functional and semiquantitative
study of the various stages of swallowing. We studied 28 ALS patients (12 females and 16 males; mean age = 63.57 ± 10.39 yr
SD), who were clinically rated against the ALSFRS scale (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functioning Rating Scale) and underwent
OPES with 99mTc-nanocolloid using either a liquid or a semisolid bolus. The semiquantitative parameters we analyzed were Oral Transit Time
(OTT), Pharyngeal Transit Time (PTT), Esophageal Transit Time (ETT), Retention Index (RI), and Esophageal Emptying Rate (EER10s). Hence, the OPES performed with a semisolid bolus produced a higher proportion of pathologic values for the swallowing variables
than when liquid bolus was used. Analyzed by grouping the patients into classes according to their bulbar ALSFRS scores, we
found a significant increase in the OTT (p < 0.005), PTT (p < 0.02), and Oropharyngeal Retention Index (OPRI) (p < 0.0004) variables in ALS patients with more severe bulbar involvement. OPES has turned out to be a very important examination
for detecting tracheal-bronchial inhalation and it also offers the possibility of acquiring a semiquantitative evaluation
of the amount of food inhaled. In our experience, OPES in patients with ALS has been easy to use, economic, well tolerated,
and capable of supplying precise indications with regard to the extent of the swallowing disorder, which permits a better
clinical definition of the ALS patient. 相似文献

A valid and reliable technique to quantify the efficiency of the oral–pharyngeal phase of swallowing is needed to measure objectively the severity of dysphagia and longitudinal changes in swallowing in response to intervention. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a scintigraphic technique to quantify the efficiency of bolus clearance during the oral–pharyngeal swallow and assess its diagnostic accuracy. To accomplish this, postswallow oral and pharyngeal counts of residual for technetium-labeled 5- and 10-ml water boluses and regional transit times were measured in 3 separate healthy control groups and in a group of patients with proven oral–pharyngeal dysphagia. Repeat measures were obtained in one group of aged (> 55yr) controls to establish test–retest reliability. Scintigraphic transit measures were validated by comparison with radiographic temporal measures. Scintigraphic measures in those with proven dysphagia were compared with radiographic classification of oral vs. pharyngeal dysfunction to establish their diagnostic accuracy. We found that oral (p = 0.04), but not pharyngeal, isotope clearance is swallowed bolus-dependently. Scintigraphic transit times do not differ from times derived radiographically. All scintigraphic measures have extremely good test–retest reliability. The mean difference between test and retest for oral residual was –1% (95% CI –3%–1%) and for pharyngeal residual it was –2% (95% CI –5%–1%). Scintigraphic transit times have very poor diagnostic accuracy for regional dysfunction. Abnormal oral and pharyngeal residuals have positive predictive values of 100% and 92%, respectively, for regional dysfunction. We conclude that oral–pharyngeal scintigraphic clearance is highly reliable, bolus volume-dependent, and has a high predictive value for regional dysfunction. It may prove useful in assessment of dysphagia severity and longitudinal change. 相似文献

The pathogenetic mechanisms causing esophageal dysmotility is not well understood. We examined 13 patients with solid bolus dysphagia in a radiologic barium study including, the swallowing of a 14-mm tablet. In all 13 patients the tablet was caught in the proximal or midesophagus. In 8 patients, the entrapment was associated with symptoms (Group 1) whereas in 5 patients (Group 2), no symptoms were reported. All 13 patients together with a control group of 56 healthy, nondysphagic subjects were tested for autonomic nerve function. Autonomic nerve function tests included registration of electrocardiographic R-R interval variation during deep breathing test (E/I ratio), a test of parasympathetic, vagal, nerve function. The results showed that the E/I ratio was significantly lower in patients with symptoms of bolus-specific esophageal dysmotility (-2,19 [1.76]) (median [interquartile range]) compared with patients without symptoms (0.05 [2, 87], p=0.0192) and controls (-0.25 [1.26], p=0.0009). In conclusion, symptomatic bolus-specific esophageal dysmotility is associated with vagal nerve dysfunction. 相似文献

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare functional dysphagia outcomes following inpatient rehabilitation for patients with brain tumors with that of patients following a stroke. Group 1 (n = 24) consisted of consecutive admissions to the brain injury program with the diagnosis of brain tumor and dysphagia. Group 2 (n = 24) consisted of matched, consecutive admissions, with the diagnosis of acute stroke and dysphagia. Group 2 was matched for age, site of lesion, and initial composite cognitive FIM score. The main outcome measures for this study included the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) National Outcome Measurement System (NOMS) swallowing scale, length of stay, hospital charges, and medical complications. Results showed that swallowing gains made by both groups as evaluated by the admission and discharge ASHA NOMS levels were considered to be statistically significant. The differences for length of stay, total hospital charges, and speech charges between the two groups were not considered to be statistically significant. Three patients in the brain tumor group (12.5%) demonstrated dysphagia complications of either dehydration or pneumonia during their treatment course as compared to 0% in the stroke group. This study confirms that functional dysphagia gains can be achieved for patients with brain tumors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation and that they should be afforded the same type and intensity of rehabilitation for their swallowing that is provided to patients following a stroke.

The purpose of this study was to identify the videofluoroscopic prognostic factors that affect the recovery of swallowing
function at an early stage after stroke and to make a tool for predicting the long-term prognosis. Eighty-three poststroke
patients were selected prospectively. These patients had all undergone videofluoroscopic swallowing studies at an average
of 40 days after stroke onset and were followed up for over six months. Prognostic factors were determined by logistic regression
analysis between the baseline videofluoroscopic findings and aspiration over six months (p < 0.05). A videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) with a sum of 100 was made according to the odds ratios of prognostic
factors. The validity of the scale was evaluated by using a receiver operating characteristic curve. The VDS was compiled
using the following 14 items: lip closure, bolus formation, mastication, apraxia, tongue-to-palate contact, premature bolus
loss, oral transit time, triggering of pharyngeal swallow, vallecular residue, laryngeal elevation, pyriform sinus residue,
coating of pharyngeal wall, pharyngeal transit time, and aspiration. At a scale cutoff value of 47, the sensitivity was 0.91
and the specificity was 0.92. The VDS was developed to be used as an objective and quantifiable predictor of long-term persistent
dysphagia after stroke. 相似文献

Patients awareness of their disability after stroke represents an important aspect of functional recovery. Our study aimed to assess whether patient awareness of the clinical indicators of dysphagia, used routinely in clinical assessment, related to an appreciation of a swallowing problem and how this awareness influenced swallowing performance and outcome in dysphagic stroke patients. Seventy patients were studied 72 h post hemispheric stroke. Patients were screened for dysphagia by clinical assessment, followed by a timed water swallow test to examine swallowing performance. Patient awareness of dysphagia and its significance were determined by detailed question-based assessment. Medical records were examined at three months. Dysphagia was identified in 27 patients, 16 of whom had poor awareness of their dysphagic symptoms. Dysphagic patients with poor awareness drank water more quickly (5 ml/s vs. <1 ml/s, p = 0.03) and took larger volumes per swallow (10 ml vs. 6 ml, p = 0.04) than patients with good awareness. By comparison, neither patients with good awareness or poor awareness perceived they had a swallowing problem. Patients with poor awareness experienced numerically more complications at three months. Stroke patients with good awareness of the clinical indicators of dysphagia modify the way they drink by taking smaller volumes per swallow and drink more slowly than those with poor awareness. Dysphagic stroke patients, regardless of good or poor awareness of the clinical indicators of dysphagia, rarely perceive they have a swallowing problem. These findings may have implications for longer-term outcome, patient compliance, and treatment of dysphagia after stroke.

OBJECTIVE: Dysphagia is the most common complication of antireflux surgery. Temporary dysphagia occurs in addition to persistent dysphagia because of technical or physiological problems. Temporary dysphagia may be due to the patient's personal perception or faulty eating habits. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the patient's personality as it relates to temporary dysphagia and individual impairment. METHODS: Several studies have used the construct of personality known as "health locus of control" to predict health-related behavior and convalescence after medical or surgical treatments. This study investigates the predictability of the subjective degree of dysphagia and its perceived degree of impairment in relation to the health locus of control after laparoscopic so-called "floppy" Nissen fundoplication in 90 patients. Several questionnaires and single-item questions were given to the patients preoperatively, and 1 wk, 6 wk, and 3 months after surgery. The answers to the questions provided the data for this study. RESULTS: Preoperatively, 92% of the patients had no dysphagia and 8% had a mild subjective degree of dysphagia. Temporary postoperative dysphagia was found in approximately 50% of the patients 1 wk after surgery. The intensity of the dysphagia ranged among mild (18%), moderate (15%), and severe (16%). Three months postoperatively about 80% had no dysphagia and only 2% severe dysphagia. Correlations between the construct of personality and the intensity of postoperative dysphagia and its impairment revealed a significant relationship at all times. Patients with high expectations for their own health-related abilities (internal control) had less dysphagia (r = -0.78 after 1 wk [p<0.001], r = -0.71 after 6 wk [p<0.001], and r = -0.64 after 3 months [p<0.001]), compared with patients who believed that their convalescence depended more on luck, chance, or fate (external control) (r = 0.67 after 1 wk [p<0.01], r = 0.72 after 6 wk [p<0.001], and r = 0.63 after 3 months [p<0.01]). These results are highly significant. The correlation between health locus of control the degree of a subjective impairment from perceived dysphagia showed similar results (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The subjective degree of dysphagia and the perceived impairment as a result of laparoscopic antireflux surgery can be predicted according to the personality of the patient. Those patients with low expectations for their own abilities can be identified before surgery, thereby allowing adaptation techniques to be applied that could improve the results and well-being of patients after antireflux surgery. 相似文献

This investigation was designed to study to what extent dysphagia in the elderly is accompanied by other chest symptoms and
if it leads to a reduction in body weight and quality of life. To this end 796 persons, randomly taken from a population register,
replied to a questionnaire concerning swallowing difficulties and other chest symptoms. Chest pain, heartburn, and regurgitation
occurred significantly more frequently in subjects who admitted feelings of obstruction in the throat or chest during the
ingestion of food (p<0.001) than in the rest, as did so-called heart problems (p<0.05). People with dysphagia had more often gained weight over the last 5 years than people without dysphagia (p<0.05). Psychosocial problems in those with dysphagia were given as anxiety at mealtimes and the wish to eat alone. Of those
with dysphagia, 40% had consulted a physician, but despite this these patients had as many problems as those who had not seen
a doctor. It is apparent that difficulty in swallowing in the elderly leads to physical and psychosocial problems that may
reduce their quality of life. 相似文献

Patients who report dysphagia, but have no detectable physical defect, have often been diagnosed as having an eating disorder.
This diagnosis was evaluated by administering the Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-2) and a measure of distress, the Symptom
Checklist-90 (SCL-90R), to a sample of 21 adult psychogenic dysphagia patients (PDPs). Their EDI-2 responses were then compared
with samples of anorexics, college men, and college women, and their SCL-90R responses were compared with published data of
patients with dysphagia due to a motility disorder, an obstruction, or neither. Relative to the anorexics, the PDPs scored
significantly lower on all EDI-2 dimensions except maturity fears. For the SCL-90R, PDPs scored significantly higher on the
interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and general severity index than did the dysphagia comparison groups. Moreover,
PDP scores on the anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity dimensions were indicative of clinically significant distress. These
findings suggest that PDPs do not appear to have an eating disorder, but that they report clinically significant levels of
psychological distress, particularly anxiety. 相似文献

Dysphagia is an alarming symptom that raises the possibility of stricture or malignancy. This study compares the prevalence and severity of dysphagia symptoms in subjects with or without gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). In a population-based study, 500 residents of Cologne between the ages of 20 and 90 years [232 (46%) males and 268 (54%) females] were randomly selected from the city register and sent questionnaires with reflux-related questions. Two hundred sixty-eight replies (54%) were accepted into the study. Of these, 45% were men with a median age of 58 years. The median female age was 54 years. Thirty-four percent of the respondents (n=92) admitted having heartburn symptoms. There was no significant gender-based difference. There was little variation in reflux frequency between individual age groups. Twenty-three (25%) of the 92 respondents with reflux reported symptoms more than twice per week. Forty-five percent of this "reflux" group took medications for their heartburn. Swallowing difficulties, predominantly mild, were reported in 11.3% of the respondents. Dysphagia was significantly increased in the reflux group (28%) versus the normal group (3%) (p<0.001). Sixteen percent of respondents with mild and 65% of those with moderate to severe reflux symptoms reported additional dysphagia symptoms (p<0.001). Swallowing problems are common in patients with GERD. Approximately two thirds of patients with long-term and severe reflux symptoms also have dysphagia symptoms. Dysphagia should always be investigated by a physician. 相似文献

Videofluoroscopic modified barium swallow (VMBS) examinations may provide clinically relevant information regarding deglutition in children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. A retrospective review of clinical evaluations and VMBS studies on 90 consecutive children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia was completed. Most children were referred because of concerns regarding airway protection during oral feedings. Most children had multiple disabilities and 93% were nonambulatory. The majority of children were totally dependent for oral feedings (80%). Oral and pharyngeal phase abnormalities were present in almost all patients. Abnormalities of deglutition were observed only while swallowing specific food textures in the majority of patients. Aspiration of specific food textures was significantly more common than aspiration of all food textures (p<0.0001). Finally, aspiration was silent in 97% of the patients. VMBS studies can provide clinicians with valuable information regarding the most appropriate food textures and rates of oral feeding for children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. 相似文献

Abstract
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, dysphagia eventually occurs independent of time of onset. We studied dysphagia
conditions in the early stage of ALS, principally at the oral phase. Videofluoroscopic and manometric studies were conducted
on 11 patients (5 males and 6 females, age range = 47–82 years) who were diagnosed at our Neurology Clinic as having ALS.
All patients were able to ingest orally. Swallowing scores on the ALS severity scale were from 10 to 5. In the oral phase
of swallowing, abnormal movements of the anterior and/or posterior tongue were recognized in 8 cases. Dysphagia severity tended
to be particularly influenced by dysfunction of the posterior tongue. Manometric studies were almost normal in all cases except
one. These results suggested that the early stage of dysphagia in ALS was mainly caused by oral dysfunction, and the oral
phase disorders began in some cases with a decreased function of bolus transport at the anterior part of the tongue, and in
other cases with a deteriorated function of holding the bolus at the posterior part of the tongue. In conclusion, the tongue
function of holding the bolus in the oral cavity mainly affects the severity of the early stage of dysphagia in ALS. 相似文献
