Abstract: Article about a study in which 40 persons with myopathic disease and dysphagia were evaluated by dynamic swallow videofluoroscopy and compared wit 16 normal controls. There was no significant difference in mesopharyngeal transit time between the myopathic group and the control group. There was a significant difference between the myopathic group and control group for hypopharyngeal transti time (p<.004) and total pharyngeal transit time (p<.002). There was no difference between matched pairs for pharyngeal transit times between room temperature and iced bolus for participants with myotonic dystrophy, polymyositis or limb-girdle syndrome. Aspiration was seen on videofluoroscopy in 20% of participants.
