MAS-p administration

Each patient will be assessed the first time at mealtime by two experienced speech therapists, and scores obtained on the MAS-p will be recorded independently and blinded to each other. The two scales selected for comparison will also be administered at the same time. The assessment with the MAS-p scale will be repeated 48 hours apart, a time considered optimal in order to avoid possible bias related to the clinical improvement of the patient undergoing rehabilitation treatment, by one of the two speech therapists.
