Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare
the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy with natural recovery in
patients who have dysphagia due to stroke. Participants were 98 patients
with stroke-caused dysphagia who were divided into an experimental and a
control group. Swallowing functions were examined based on a video
fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) for 8 weeks. Each group was
evaluated with the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS),
Dysphagia Severity Score (DSS), and Functional Outcome Swallowing Scale
(FOSS) to assess swallowing ability in the first week, and re-evaluated
in the 8th week during the session for investigating the recovery
status. The author compared the above initial data and follow-up data
using a Mann-Whitney U test, Kluskal-Wallis test, and Wilcoxon’s Signed
Rank test, performed by IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 for windows. There was
statistically significant recovery in the experimenta1 group except
measure of DOSS (p>O.05). The control group showed improvement in all
