| Research Abstract |
The number of the /pa/ syllable articulation and the sequence/pataka/ articulation was measured by a lip movement measuring device before and after the 4-week continuing training of oral function in order to evaluate the effect of the training. The participants were 13 elderly persons and 15 young adults. The number of the sequence /pataka/ articulation after the training was increased in many participants. The number of the sequence /pataka/ articulation was smaller in the elderly than the young adults. Oral diadokokinesis by 10-second /pataka/ articulation may be effective toevaluate the effect of the training of oral function.
