Stroke and Swallowing Stroke and Swallowing. When someone has had a stroke, the damage to speech and movement is usually obvious. But for some stroke survivors, having trouble swallowing can be an invisible -- but extremely disabling -- aftereffect. Although there is no hard data on the number of people who have difficulty swallowing after a stroke, the American Stroke Association says the problem may occur in up to 65 percent of stroke patients.

Recovery Considerations Although most recovery from stroke takes place in the first 3 months, and only minor additional measurable improvement occurs after the 6 months following onset, recovery may continue over a longer period of time in some patients who have significant partial return of voluntary movement.anguage function in many of these patients improves, and, at 6 months or more after stroke, only 12-18% of patients have identifiable aphasia. The most improvement in patients with aphasia occurs in the first 2-3 months, with the recovery rate dropping significantly after 6 months.

Swallowing Disorders Swallowing involves roughly 50 muscles and many nerves, to move food and drink from the mouth into the stomach. Swallowing disorders, also called dysphagia, occur when nerve control or structures involved in the process are disrupted or not functioning properly. Many conditions can cause swallowing problems, among them: 1  Head, neck or chest injury.  Cancer of the head, neck, or food tube (esophagus), or treatment of these cancers.
