Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess swallowing function in patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) using standardized assessment tools, comparing results with healthy controls.
- Findings showed that the IBM group had significantly worse swallowing scores, particularly in pharyngeal impairment, compared to the control group.
- The research emphasizes the need for standardized methods in evaluating swallowing issues in IBM, as well as highlights the adverse effects on oral intake in affected individuals.
Objective: Cricopharyngeal dysfunction is a common potential cause of pharyngoesophageal dysphagia. Contextual factors (i.e.

This study aimed to identify, evaluate and summarize the evidence regarding the assessment and management of dysphagia in persons with IBM undergoing treatment.

This study investigated sequential swallowing biomechanics in healthy adults. Archival normative videofluoroscopic swallow studies were analyzed for hyolaryngeal complex (HLC) patterning and biomechanical measures from the first 2 swallows of a 90-mL thin liquid sequential swallow task.
