The modified Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability is useful for broadly detecting swallowing disorders but may miss mild issues and aspiration. The RSST, with a score of ≤2, is valuable for indicating abnormal VFSS findings. Tongue pressure, especially in oral and pharyngeal residues, is useful. Combining these tests might enhance accuracy of the swallowing evaluation.
