Summary

1. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of sonography.
2. To explore that sonography is a clinically practical tool for assessing the changes of oropharyngeal muscles mass.
3. The Comparisons the differences in clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, and muscle strength/ sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles among the stroke patients with dysphagia in different swallowing training programs.
4. To investigate the associations among clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, muscle strength and sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia.
5. The changes of clinical swallowing function, and muscle strength of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia after different swallowing training programs.
6. The changes in sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia after different swallowing training programs.
7. Effect of different swallowing therapies in clinical swallowing function, general muscle mass, and muscle strength/ sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia.
8. The associations between clinical swallowing function, oropharyngeal muscle strength, and sonographic findings of oropharyngeal muscles in stroke patients with dysphagia.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

swallowing therapy

oral exercises, tongue movement, and compensatory techniques, swallowing maneuvers and food modifications, will be performed by an experienced speech and language therapist during intervention

OTHER

IOPI therapy

tongue muscle strengthening and endurance exercises by using 15-min IOPI biofeedback program. The biofeedback will be 50%-60% of maximal strength. (total 1 hour/session for 10 sessions)

OTHER

neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy

The neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy with VitalStim therapeutic device will be done by one physician who is licensed practitioner and certified in use of the VitalStim device. The placement of 2-channel electrodes is depended on the dysphagic types and the clinical swallowing disorders with for oropharyngeal muscles (1 hour/session for 10 sessions)
