Results

Voluntary maximal tongue pressure showed a significant increase at 2 months compared to pre-baseline (p<0.01).
Oral diadochokinesis showed a significant increase at 2 months compared to 1 month in /ta/ (p<0.01).
Masticatory ability did not change significantly during either period.
There was a significant increase in lip closure at 2 months compared to pre-baseline and 1 month (p<0.01, p<0.01), respectively.

Baseline Characteristics

Twenty-two subjects were included in the study, but two dropped out during the intervention, so 20 subjects (mean age 72.8 +- 8.6 years, age range 60-87 years, 9 males and 11 females) could be measured up to 2 months later. The average number of remaining teeth was 22.5 +- 6.7, and 6 of the subjects were using partial dentures. As for history of central nervous system disease, one subject had a history of cerebral infarction. In terms of motor function, all subjects were at the level of walking independence.

Participant flow

No adverse events. 2 dropouts.

Adverse events

None.

Outcome measures

Voluntary maximal tongue pressure, oral diadochokinesis, saliva volume at rest, repetitive salivary swallowing test, chewing ability, lip closure strength
