Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a new scale for dysphagia in patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases: the Neuromuscular Disease Swallowing Status Scale (NdSSS)
Ayako Wada,Michiyuki Kawakami,Meigen Liu,Eri Otaka,Atsuko Nishimura,Fumio Liu,Tomoyoshi Otsuka +6 more
TL;DR: The originally developed NdSSS demonstrated sufficient reliability, validity, and responsiveness in patients with DMD and ALS and is also useful in evaluating dysphagia in Patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resting Energy Expenditure in Patients with Stroke during the Subacute Phases - Relationships with Stroke Types, Location, Severity of Paresis, and Activities of Daily Living
TL;DR: Analysis of energy expenditure suggests that stroke patients are not hypermetabolic during the subacute phase in patients with stroke, and this finding provides important information for improving nutritional management during theSubacute Phase in Patients with stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric skull deformity in children with cerebral palsy: frequency and correlation with postural abnormalities and deformities.
Michiyuki Kawakami,Meigen Liu,Tomoyoshi Otsuka,Ayako Wada,Ken Uchikawa,Asako Aoki,Yohei Otaka +6 more
TL;DR: Asymmetrical skull deformity is frequent in cerebral palsy and closely related to asymmetrical posture and deformities, and this information will be useful to manage these problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of swallowing dysfunction in Becker muscular dystrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
TL;DR: Patients with BMD have swallowing problems similar to those observed in patients with DMD when matched according to physical functional status, and these patients should be evaluated and followed-up for the duration of their disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term follow-up of dysphagia in adult patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Yuka Yamada,Michiyuki Kawakami,Ayako Wada,Shogo Fukui,Koshiro Haruyama,Tomoyoshi Otsuka,Meigen Liu +6 more
TL;DR: Swallowing status declined over time in patients with adult DMD, with initial NdSSS as a predictor of future swallowing status.
