Abstract
We evaluated the dysphagial patient who suffered pseudo bulbar palsy and hemiplegia by the radiological swallowing test or endoscopic examination. In case of the in-the-home patient, endoscopic study is preferable, because of the disturbance of hospital visit and without exposure to radiation. We devised the endoscopic examination with test food seeing by the video system for the dysphagial patient. This time, we saw the patient in his home with a dentist, a dental hyginiest, a expert in nutrition as a group. We prescribed oral hygiene and oral rehabilitation. Resultingly, he recovered swallowing function. We emphasize the group of experts therapy for the in-the-home patient.
