What this trial studies

This study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory specifically for the Turkish population. It focuses on patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia, which is common in individuals with neurologic disorders. The study aims to culturally adapt the inventory and assess its effectiveness in measuring the quality of life related to swallowing difficulties. Participants include both individuals diagnosed with neurologic disorders and healthy adults who can communicate in Turkish.
