Decreased Maximal Tongue Protrusion Length May Predict the Presence of Dysphagia in Stroke Patients

To investigate the relationship between maximal tongue protrusion length (MTPL) and dysphagia in post-stroke patients. Free tongue length (FTL) was measured using the quick tongue-tie assessment tool and MTPL was measured using a transparent plastic ruler in 47 post-stroke patients. The MTPL-to-FTL...

Description
Summary:To investigate the relationship between maximal tongue protrusion length (MTPL) and dysphagia in post-stroke patients. Free tongue length (FTL) was measured using the quick tongue-tie assessment tool and MTPL was measured using a transparent plastic ruler in 47 post-stroke patients. The MTPL-to-FTL (RMF) ratio was calculated. Swallowing function in all patients was evaluated via videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), PenetrationAspiration Scale (PAS), Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), and Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS). The MTPL and RMF values were significantly higher in the non-aspirator group than in the aspirator group (MTPL, p=0.0049; RMF, p
