Orofacial functional impairments among patients following stroke: a systematic review
ConclusionsExisting evidence highlights a number of compromised orofacial functions experienced by patients following stroke. These impairments appear to be sustained, with spontaneous recovery unlikely to occur. While rehabilitative approaches may have the potential to improve orofacial function and quality of life following stroke, there is currently a lack of evidence‐based interventions available to inform the development of comprehensive rehabilitation protocols.This article is protected by copyright.
