Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study investigated whether sense of cooperation of breathing and the swallowing changed by the wearing of the respirator.　We have developed a sensor and analyzer for acquiring data in this study. Swallowing by using a respirator had most stop phase swallowing. The patients using a respirator may swallow it to a stop phase swallowing.
