Noninvasive Evaluation of the Biomechanical Accommodations to Bolus Volume during Human Swallowing

Figure 5

Effects of bolus volume on hyoid active phases. T1–T2, hyoid slight motion phase; T2–T4, hyoid elevation phase; T4–T5, hyoid stabilization phase at the most anterior-superior position; T5–T6, hyoid descent phase; T2–T5, hyoid active phase; T1–T6. hyoid total motion phase. Data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). *.
