Summary

Oropharyngeal dysphagia is commonly seen in patients with stroke. Clinical assessment may be used to evaluate dysphagia in patients with stroke however reliability of this method is controversial and videofluoroscopic study is still considered as gold standard. However, exposure to radiation, necessity for a experienced practitioner, an expensive device, and swallowing contrast agents are disadvantages of videofluoroscopy. Ultrasonography, on the other hand, is a cheap, noninvasive device which may demonstrate tongue and laryngeal movement dynamically. In this manner, this study aims to evaluate whether ultrasound can assess dysphagia in patients with hemiplegia accurately.
