−: indicates that the event of tongue pressure was significantly earlier than that of pharyngeal pressure ( < 0.05).
+: indicates that the event of tongue pressure was significantly later than that of pharyngeal pressure ( < 0.05).
value showed ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test for comparison of the time sequence between time events of tongue and pharyngeal pressures.
