Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Quality of swallowing

    Quality of swallowing was assessed by Eating Assessment Tool inventory consisting in 10 questions that scores from 0 to 40. Low score is better, higher score is worse.

    3 months

  • Values of aspiration

    Aspiration was assessed by aspiration penetration scale during swallowing with flexible endoscopy. The scale consisting in 8 degree that scored from 1 to 8. Higher score is worse.

    3 months

  • Voice analysis

    Voice recordings were analyzed by PRAAT computer software. The investigator measured to shimmer, jitter and HNR voice values. The values are variation of frequency and amplitude of the sound wave. Higher value shows healthy voice for HNR parameters, lower value shows healthy voice for shimmer and jitter.

    3 months

  • Cervical spine situation

    Cervical spine was assessed with modify stoke ankylosing spondylitis spine score that scored from 0 to 3. Low score is better and high score is worse.

    3 months

  • Ankylosing spondylitis disease activity

    The investigator measured to disease activity with bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index consisting in 6 questions that scored from 0 to 10 and morning rigidity times. Low scores are better and high scores are worse.

    3 months
