The importance of the reproducibility of oropharyngeal swallowing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. An electrophysiological study

Highlights • Electrophysiological evaluation of swallowing reproducibility in ALS using mathematical algorithms. • Reproducibility of both the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing is markedly reduced in ALS. • Electrophysiological study of swallowing is useful for management of swallowing abnorm...
