Purpose The purpose of the study is to evaluate if training with oral screen IQoro® improves swallowing in patients with dysphagia after stroke.

Method Inpatient from a stroke unit in Sweden who have been assessed with fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing(FEES) which proves swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) were recruited. The participants were randomise to control- or intervention group. Both groups received usual care. The intervention group were instructed to oral screen (IQoro®) training for 13 weeks. Follow up with FEES was made 13 weeks post of recruitment. The assess with FEES was recorded and the recordings are going to be analyzed afterwards to compare the swallowing ability between baseline and follow up in group and between group.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient assessed to have dysphagia (score ≥1 on one of the studied parameters)according to FEES.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with dysphagia of a cause other than stroke.
• Patient with impaired cognitive skill, motor and / or language ability that prevents the possibility of performing training with IQoro®, despite possible support from assistance from relatives or staff.
