| Research Abstract |
There is no differences in oral function level between healthy and high-risk elderly. The effects of intervention were clearly recognized in regards to oral diadochokinesis. Improvement in RSST and oral diadochokinesis scores was marked in those persons showing a lower number of articulations before intervention. The results of the present study suggest that long-term projects are necessary to maintain and improve oral function in high-risk and dependent elderly.
