“…This scale has subjective as well as objective elements and evaluates facial and bulbar function, as well as captures a measurement of respiratory function. We performed a study using the mOBFRS scale in ALS patients and have shown the scale has very high sensitivity and specificity and correlates very well with the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) and the bulbar scale that was developed for clinical trials in Kennedy Disease [55]. The mOBFRS data collection and analysis in IBM is still ongoing but are showing similar positive trends in correlation [56].…”

Inclusion body myositis is one of the most common acquired myopathies seen in the aging population. The muscle weakness is of insidious onset, frequently starting in the legs, but over time gradually progresses to eventually involve all skeletal muscles of the limbs, face, swallowing and respiratory muscles, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Complications resulting from dysphagia are the leading cause of poor quality of life and mortality, while highly prevalent, are still underappreciated and underrecognized. This review highlights the importance of understanding the urgent need for recognizing and improving the evaluation, outcome measures and therapeutic options of dysphagia in inclusion body myositis patients.
