Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Health care staff in the municipalities do not always have the necessary competencies to treat patients with dysphagia. At the present neurorehabilitation hospital dysphagia examinations for outpatients are provided.

The objective is to investigate the effect of a specialized outpatient dysphagia unit for subjects with dysphagia following neurological illness. Occupational therapists from the outpatient dysphagia unit will train with subjects for 2-3 weeks, and supervise furter training provided by health care staff in the municipalities.
