Abstract
A quantitative evaluation of the pharyngeal swallow is described using a new method--manofluorography. Eleven parameters have been established, and the clinical significance of the most important ones has been highlighted. The propulsive tongue action and hypopharyngeal suction pump have been designated as the major bolus driving forces.Entities:
