Background Limited knowledge exists regarding whether transcutaneous electrical
stimulation (TES)‐based exercise can improve the lingual pressure generation. Objectives …

Limited research in swallowing physiology has suggested that the most common existing
transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) protocol (VitalStim) may not penetrate to layers …

Objective This study compared the immediate impact of different transcutaneous electrical
stimulation (TES) amplitudes on physiological swallowing effort in healthy older adults …

Objectives This study compared the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES)
amplitude on timing of lingual–palatal and pharyngeal peak pressures during swallowing in …

Surface electrical stimulation of the laryngeal region is used to improve swallowing in
dysphagic patients. However, little is known about how electrical stimulation affects tongue …

Objective Lingual strengthening exercises are established to improve lingual function,
thereby oral swallowing. This study measured submental muscle activation during maximum …

Background Lingual pressure (LP) generation is cooperatively controlled not only by the
intrinsic tongue (I‐ton) muscles but also by hyoid muscle activation. However, the …

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of myotherapy exercises in increasing tongue
pressure and strength. A secondary aim was to analyze the exercise types, training …

Background. Lingual, labial and buccal weakness (LLBW) is a widespread consequence of
several neurological insults. LLBW impact on oral motor functions such as speech …

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of intensity dosing during
tongue exercise on tongue pressure generation, adherence, and perceived effort. Design …
