Study Details

This study of healthy young and elderly individuals is intended to assess the effects of pharyngeal exerciser on pharyngeal pressure phenomenon during swallowing. Our specific aim is to test if the pharyngeal exerciser increases the workload of muscles involved in pharyngeal phase of swallowing.

Arms

  • Experimental: Pharyngeal exerciser group
    Test that application of the pharyngeal exerciser increases the workload of muscles involved in pharyngeal phase of swallowing as evidenced manometrically by changes in Pharyngeal peak pressures Pharyngeal (velopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx) contractile duration Pharyngeal (velopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx) contractile integral Hypopharyngeal intrabolus pressure and duration UES nadir pressure UES relaxation time Baseline UES pressure

Primary Outcome Measure

laryngeal excursion during swallowing [ Time Frame: During mano-fluorography procedure ]
