Abstract
Rationale: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a frequent symptom in patients with Motor Neuron Disease (MND), up to 80% of them will have OD throughout the disease. OD may be one of the initial symptoms in patients with bulbar onset (speech and swallowing problems) or it can appear during the disease in spinal forms (involvement of upper or lower extremities). The first treatment of OD in neurodegenerative diseases is possible with a food texture modification, requiring different strategies for liquids and solid food.
