Outline of Final Research Achievements

Useful protocols/methods for the evaluation of ingesting/swallowing function have been postulated in Japan. In this study, we tried to establish the objective and simple analytical methods for evaluation of the oripharyngeal function by quantifying the stereognostic ability, which is required for ingestion. We observed that the stereognostic ability elevated from the age of infants to adults, and then dropped down at the elderly people. When we measured both the stereognostic ability and the various condition of the oral cavity including the tongue observation, the tongue pressure, wetness of tongue surface, ability of saliva secretion, and the gustatory sensibility, it has no relationship between them. So the stereognostic ability has shown to be an independent among the oripharyngeal function. When we examined the effect of the daily food into the the stereognostic ability of the tongue, it was improved by supplementation of MSG (mono-sodium glutamate) into the food.
