Tongue movements during water swallowing in healthy young and older adults.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the nature and extent of variability in tongue movement during healthy swallowing as a function of aging and gender. In addition, changes were quantified in healthy tongue movements in response to ... Read more...

Contingent negative variations associated with command swallowing in humans.

14 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To clarify the role of the cerebral cortex in the swallowing movement, the difference between the waveforms of contingent negative variation (CNV) for the command swallowing and movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) obtained during ... Read more...

Incorrect orofacial functions until 5 years of age and their association with posterior crossbite.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: In addition to heredity, sucking habits, impaired nasal breathing, and atypical swallowing patterns are considered important factors in the etiology of posterior crossbite. The purpose of this study was to assess irregular orofacial ... Read more...
