Relationship between Quantified Instrumental Swallowing Examination and Comprehensive Clinical Swallowing Examination

In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that the MASA holds adequate clinical test–re‐test and inter‐rater reliabilities and criterion validity for measuring the swallowing abilities of Korean patients who had a stroke and dysphagia. The MASA could contribute to more systematic management of swallowing problems and efficient therapeutic service. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
