Analysis of Difference between the Objective Effect and Subjective Effect in Rehabilitation Treatment of Dysphagia after Stroke by Shaohong XU, Shan TIAN, Ruiping HU, Junfa WU, Congyu JIANG, Dandan LI, Kewei YU, Yi WU

“…Objective:To analyze the reason of the difference of clinical curative effect after rehabilitation treatment for stroke patients with dysphagia.Methods:A total of thirty stroke patients with dysphagia were evaluated with standardized swallowing assessment (SSA), video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) and swallowing disorder patient's quality of life scale (SWAL-QOL).Results:After four weeks of rehabilitation treatment, the SSA, VFSS and SWAL-QOL scores were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the SWAL-QOL score was lower than the SSA or VFSS score, but there was not a significant difference among them.Conclusion:A reason for the differences of SSA, VFSS and SWAL-QOL is the objectivity and subjectivity of curative evaluation. …”
