Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stroke is one of the most important causes of swallowing difficulty. It is seen in one of every two patients with stroke. Although the swallowing function is controlled by both hemispheres, it is unknown which hemisphere is more dominant than another for controlling the swallowing function. However, the aspiration and pharyngeal phase dysfunction can be seen in right hemisphere involvement while oral phase dysfunction can be seen in left hemisphere involvement.
