  • Title: [Ultrasound study of disorders of coordination in tongue movement in swallowing].
    Author: Wein B, Klajman S, Huber W, Döring WH.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1988 Mar; 59(3):154-8. PubMed ID: 3287196.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound imaging of tongue movements permits real-time observation of swallowing and articulation without risk for the patient. The ultrasound images of the tongue motions were recorded on video-tape and then analyzed frame by frame. We were able to detect regular phases of tongue motion during normal swallowing. Clear deviations from normal motion patterns were found in a patient with anarthria, despite absence of swallowing difficulties in every day life.
