Dysphagia is a condition that affects approximately 45 percent of stroke patients. It is characterized by the difficulty or inability to swallow due to the weakness or lack of coordination in the mouth and throat muscles.


And while dysphagia is relatively common – affecting as much as 13 percent of the general population, according to a 1991 study – it is often underdiagnosed. On average, only two percent of dysphagic patients in long-term care are identified.
