Background
During mastication, the tongue presses the bolus into the pharynx by a "squeeze‐back" motion, known as stage II transport (St2Tr). However, the pressure of St2Tr tongue‐palate contact has not been examined.
Objectives
We aimed to clarify aspects of St2Tr occurrence and tongue‐palate contact during mastication by measuring tongue pressure.
Methods
Ten healthy adults (eight...
The purpose of this study was to assess whether or not high frame rate (HFR) videos recorded using high-speed digital imaging (HSDI) improve the visual recognition of the motions of the laryngopharyngeal structures during pharyngeal swallow in fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Five healthy subjects were asked to swallow 0.5 ml water under fiberoptic nasolaryngoscopy. The endoscope...
