In the present study, the state of tongue pressure production between tongue and hard palate during swallowing in stroke and neurologic disease patients was analyzed using parameters such as order, duration, magnitude and integrated value of tongue pressure measured by using an original ultra-thin sensor sheet. As we found factors of tongue pressure production relating the incidence of dysphagia, tongue pressure measurement could be useful for diagnosing dysphagia in those patients
