Summary

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA) (dysphagia screening tool)

Upon 1-2 days of admission to inpatient rehabilitation, the MASA will be administered for approximately 20 minutes during initial speech language pathology evaluation. The MASA will be administered at bedside as a cognitive/speech language evaluation as well as oropharyngeal function examination.
