| Research Abstract |
To determine the texture of semi-solid foods appropriate for post-stroke dysphagic patients. The patients were asked to swallow food and the texture, pharyngeal residue, penetration into the larynx, and aspiration were evaluated. We observed and noted the association between the texture of foods and swallowing movements by videoendoscopy. We found that evaluating food texture by endoscopy revealed significant differences in adhesiveness according to residue deposition and significant differences in gumminess according to aspiration. We identified semi-solid foods' textures appropriate or inappropriate based for post-stroke dysphagic patients.
