Although individuals with low anterior tongue elevation strength tend to have a higher risk of aspiration, this variable alone is not capable of screening aspiration in acute stroke. In combination with a thorough noninstrumental bedside examination, it might have the potential to reduce the number of false positive cases. Further studies in this area would be worthwhile.
