Influence of Habitual Tongue Posture on Tongue Pressure During Swallowing
Puntos clave
This research aims to investigate how habitual tongue posture affects tongue pressure during swallowing.
Analyzed the relationship between tongue posture and tongue pressure during swallowing
Assessed swallowing efficiency across different tongue postures
Evaluated the implications of low tongue posture on age-related swallowing difficulties
Habitual low tongue posture was linked to reduced tongue pressure
Impaired swallowing efficiency was observed in individuals with low tongue posture
Participants at risk for dysphagia showed greater swallowing challenges due to low tongue posture
Resumen
Our findings suggest that habitual low tongue posture impairs swallowing efficiency by reducing tongue pressure in certain areas, posing a risk for age-related dysphagia and swallowing difficulties.
