  Background and Purpose: It was aimed at investigating the efficiency of electrophysiological evaluation procedure by compared to healthy controls in acute period stroke patients in this study. As a secondary aim, it was evaluated that whether the patient groups defined as “dysphagic” and “with normal swallowing” were different from each other or not, in respect to the stroke severity and disability. Methods: Forty-two stroke patients and 15 healthy hospital personnel were included in this study. Demographic and disease characteristics of patients were recorded. The stroke severity and disability rate were evaluated. Electrophysiological evaluation was performed in all participants. Electro neuromyography recordings were received from submental electrodes and laringeal sensor. Swallowing interval times and dysphagia limit were recorded. Patient .. View More»
