Abstract
We developed a swallowing training system with bio-feedback from visual sense and audition. This system consists of 3 parameters and we examined whether every parameter changed or not about normal and dysphagia people. People could choose one parameter that they want to train feedback. We found that dysphagia people could swallow bolus similar to normal movement. We will need to compare and examine other indexes or parameters.
