This article revues the different examinations used to assess bulbar and pseudobulbar involvement in an ALS patient: oromotor assessment, evaluation of the functions with self assessment, perceptive and objective evaluation of speech disorders, fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of dysphagia (FEES) and videofluoroscopy.

One-third of all patients seen had probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
