 Isometric exercise to raise the tongue dorsum and press strongly against the palate is widely used for training tongue muscles in dysphagic patients. Using the "Peko-panda"(PP) tongue training instrument, which is made of thermoplastic elastomer, has the advantage that we can achieve constant muscle activity during training. We examined the use of PP in suprahyoid-muscle training. Subjects were 12 healthy males in their twenties. They performed tongue elevation tasks under 4 conditions:with a tongue-depressor, and with PP for 10kPa, 20kPa, and 30kPa. We calibrated the suprahyoid-muscle activity for tongue elevation by measuring the surface EMG in 2 posture conditions;in the vertically sitting posture and in the reclining posture of 30 degrees above the horizontal plane. The subjects maintained tongue elevation for 3 seconds while recordings were made and measurements were taken 3 times for each condition with each posture. The suprahyoid muscle activity was not significantly different for the 4 conditions or for the 2 postures. We therefore conclude that PP showed equivalent effects to the tongue-depressor.
