| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the indicators of oral and cervical functions for balance function by the physical and oral function training in elderly. As a result, tongue pressure and cervical active range of motion were associated with balance function. In addition, cervical active range of motion was improved when the physical and oral function training compared with the physical function training only. In conclusion, the oral function training for elderly was suggested the effects on improvement of the physical function.
