It can lead to psychological disorders, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and, in severe cases, life-threatening asphyxia. Swallowing disorders after stroke bring great obstacles to clinical treatment, with an acute incidence of 35-60%. It was found that the mortality rate of stroke with swallowing disorders was three times higher than that of the group with normal swallowing function and similar degree of stroke disease. Swallowing disorders improve as stroke disease improves, but 10% remain in the chronic phase of stroke disease, resulting in persistent disability and handicap.
