Longitudinal Videofluorographic Dysphagia Measures in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia can lead to fatal aspiration pneumonia in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Little is known about the longitudinal progression of dysphagia or whether it differs across PSP clinical variants. Objectives To characterize longitudinal changes in dysphagia across PSP variants and determine relationships with disease ...
