A 65 yeаr-оld mаle presents tо the Emergency Depаrtment (ED) fоllowing a fall at home. Two days following admission you receive a consult for a bedside evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function. Based on chart review, his neurological exam is significant for: Adequate force through the orofacial structures.
