Participants in this group will receive the MASA dysphagia screening once upon admission to inpatient rehabilitation for approximately 20 minutes.

Participants in this group will receive standard of care treatment (dysphagia screening once upon admission to inpatient rehabilitation using a non-standardized clinical swallow evaluation for approximately 15 minutes).

Upon 1-2 days of admission to inpatient rehabilitation, the MASA will be administered for approximately 20 minutes during initial speech language pathology evaluation. The MASA will be administered at bedside as a cognitive/speech language evaluation as well as oropharyngeal function examination.

The MASA is a 24-item clinical test that evaluates swallowing in the order in which swallowing phases occur. Each item is quantitatively scored using either a 5-point or 10-point score at the end of which a total score out of 200 is summed up. The MASA takes approximately 15-20 minutes to perform and can then be repeated during a patient's clinical course to monitor for recovery.
