| Research Abstract |
The tongue causes changes in tongue pressure at the anterior and posterior-lateral parts according to the bolus texture to promote a smooth swallowing. And it is suggested that contact to the hard palate in tongue pressure at the anterior and posterior-median parts has important role for improving swallowing at PAP.
