This paper explores the impact of tongue strength exercises (TSE) performance accuracy on exercise outcomes, adherence, and participant confidence and motivation. An 8-week randomized clinical trial included 84 typically aging participants divided into four groups defined by access to biofeedback (present/absent) and TSE intensity dosing (maximal/submaximal) during a home exercise program (HEP). Retention, training, and HEP accuracy were tracked at biweekly visits and during HEP for participants with access to a biofeedback device. Associations with tongue strength outcomes, participant factors, biofeedback, and intensity dosing were analyzed. Exercise accuracy measures did not contribute to tongue strength outcomes at the end of 8 weeks. Increased training accuracy (less practice required to achieve competency) was associated with higher participant confidence and better adherence to the HEP. The presence of biofeedback was associated with reduced adherence but better retention accuracy, while maximal intensity was associated with improvements in all accuracy measures compared to submaximal intensity exercise. These findings in typically aging participants suggest the need for tailored approaches in swallowing-related exercise programs, given the effects of biofeedback and exercise intensity on motor learning and exercise retention. Accuracy performance and its effect on clinical outcomes warrants study in clinical populations with dysphagia and with various rehabilitative approaches.Trial Registration Clincialtrials.gov: NCT04809558.</p>","PeriodicalId":11508,"journal":{"name":"Dysphagia","volume":" ","pages":"489-500"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11893694/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141995495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this exploratory study was to gain insight in the feasibility of adding particles to pureed food on tongue strength, swallowing safety and efficiency in patients with OD. Ten adult participants with OD swallowed three different boluses. Bolus 1 consisted of no particles (IDDSI level 4), small and bigger particles were added in bolus 2 and 3. Tongue strength during swallowing (Pswal) was measured using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). Swallow safety (penetration and aspiration) and swallow efficiency (residu) were quantified during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing by means of the PAS scale and Pooling score. RM Anova and Friedman tests were performed for analyzing the impact of bolus on the outcome parameters. No significant effect of bolus type on Pswal was measured. Neither the PAS nor the Pooling score differed significantly between the three different boluses. Aspiration was never observed during swallowing any bolus with particles.

Despite valuable information obtained from these boluses, it remains common practice to use a single bolus (e.g., the worst score) to describe the degree of dysfunction. Researchers also often collapse continuous or ordinal swallowing measures into categories, potentially exacerbating information loss. These practices may adversely affect statistical power to detect and estimate smaller, yet potentially meaningful, treatment effects. This study sought to examine the impact of aggregating and categorizing penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) scores on statistical power and effect size estimates. We used a Monte Carlo approach to simulate three hypothetical within-subject treatment studies in Parkinson's disease and head and neck cancer across a range of data characteristics (e.g., sample size, number of bolus trials, variability). Different statistical models (aggregated or multilevel) as well as various PAS reduction approaches (i.e., types of categorizations) were performed to examine their impact on power and the accuracy of effect size estimates. Across all scenarios, multilevel models demonstrated higher statistical power to detect group-level longitudinal change and more accurate estimates compared to aggregated (worst score) models. Categorizing PAS scores also reduced power and biased effect size estimates compared to an ordinal approach, though this depended on the type of categorization and baseline PAS distribution. Multilevel models should be considered as a more robust approach for the statistical analysis of multiple boluses administered in standardized swallowing protocols due to its high sensitivity and accuracy to compare group-level changes in swallowing function. Importantly, this finding appears to be consistent across patient populations with distinct pathophysiology (i.e., PD and HNC) and patterns of airway invasion. The decision to categorize a continuous or ordinal outcome should be grounded in the clinical or research question with recognition that scale reduction may negatively affect the quality of statistical inferences in certain scenarios.</p>","PeriodicalId":11508,"journal":{"name":"Dysphagia","volume":" ","pages":"388-398"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141995496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-two SLPs from 5 sites participated in a blinded longitudinal DIGEST rating study. Raters were provided a standardized training set of MBS (n = 19).
