摘要: AbstractPrimary objective: To extend previous observations by investigating if differences exist in time to initiation or recovery of total oral intake patients with acquired brain injury assessed either Facial-Oral Tract Therapy (F.O.T.T.®) Fibreoptic Endoscopic Evaluation Swallowing (FEES) and investigate whether other factors influence these outcomes.Research design: Randomized controlled trial.Methods: One hundred nineteen dysphagia inpatient neurorehabilitation were randomized. The main outcome was maximum on the Functional Oral Intake Scale.Results: There no difference using F.O.T.T.® FEES. initiated for 42% admission 92% at discharge; 2.5% within 24 hours 37% discharge. likelihood before discharge found depend age, Independence Measure score, length o...
