Standard values of maximum tongue pressure taken using newly developed disposable tongue pressure measurement device.
Yuri Utanohara,Ryo Hayashi,Mineka Yoshikawa,Mitsuyoshi Yoshida,Kazuhiro Tsuga,Yasumasa Akagawa +5 more
TL;DR: It may be concluded that maximum tongue pressures were reduced with primary aging, as males may become weaker with age at a faster rate than females; however, further decreases in strength were in parallel for male and female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study proposes diagnostic criteria and management strategies to reduce the risk of oral hypofunction among older people and recommends that more evidence should be gathered from clinical studies and trials to clarify the diagnostic criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased Tongue Pressure Reflects Symptom of Dysphagia
Mitsuyoshi Yoshida,Takeshi Kikutani,Kazuhiro Tsuga,Yuri Utanohara,Ryo Hayashi,Yasumasa Akagawa +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that tongue pressure measurement reflects clinical signs of dysphagic tongue movement and cough and that measurement of tongue pressure is useful for the bedside evaluation of swallowing.
Journal Article
A novel handy probe for tongue pressure measurement.
TL;DR: A disposable handy probe for measuring tongue pressure was developed and tested for clinical use and could see some quantitative aspects of tongue function conveniently and safely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspects of Swallowing in Healthy Dentate Elderly Persons Older Than 80 Years
Mineka Yoshikawa,Mitsuyoshi Yoshida,Toshikazu Nagasaki,Keiji Tanimoto,Kazuhiro Tsuga,Yasumasa Akagawa,Teruki Komatsu +6 more
TL;DR: Physiological swallowing functions deteriorate even in healthy dentate elderly persons, and this deterioration may be explained primarily by the influence of aging on swallowing.
