| Research Abstract |
The chewing and swallowing function in patients with neuromuscular disease was studied. In Parkinson's disease and the related disease, the slow speed of mandibular movement caused the prolonged oropharyngeal transit time. These symptoms were associated with PD progression. In myotonic dystrophy type 1, the deteriorated tongue strength was not associated with the oropharyngeal transit time, while there was a significant correlation between the maximum distance of hyoid bone elevation and the pharyngeal residue ratio.
