Sequential Coordination between Lingual and Pharyngeal Pressures Produced during Dry Swallowing
The aim of this study was to investigate oropharyngeal pressure flow dynamics during dry swallowing in ten healthy subjects. Tongue pressure (TP) was measured using a sensor sheet system with five measuring points on the hard palate, and pharyngeal pressure (PP) was measured using a manometric cathe...
