Neurol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Dysphagia is a common symptom of Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) associated with aspiration pneumonia, choking, malnutrition, and a decreased quality of life, and is a leading cause of death among patients with PD. Tongue dysfunction in patients with PD affects the oral phase of swallowing, including the formation and propulsion of a bolus into the pharynx. Assessing tongue pressure, generated between the tongue and palate, is a method that quantitatively measures tongue function and is related to dysphagia in PD. Two assessment methods are used to measure tongue pressure: tongue strength and tongue pressure during swallowing. Previous studies measuring tongue pressure in PD have reported decreased tongue strength and pressure during swallowing, as well as a prolonged tongue pressure rise time, which are symptoms associated with PD severity and dysphagia. In this mini-review, we present a method for measuring tongue pressure and discuss its relationship with dysphagia in PD. We also describe limitations and future perspectives in tongue pressure measurement research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2024.1355627","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,12]],"date-time":"2024-02-12T23:18:31Z","timestamp":1707779911000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Quantitative
