Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the synchronized electrical stimulation device effective in the treatment of dysphagia.
Detailed Description
* Design: Prospective study * Inclusion criteria of the patient group: who has a dysphagia symptom and confirmed by video-fluoroscopic swallowing study(N=10) * Inclusion criteria of the control group: who does not have any dysphagia symptoms, and does not have any underlying disease(N=10) * Setting: Hospital rehabilitation department * Intervention: Participants are applied electrical stimulation by a "Synchronized Electrical Stimulation Device(SESD)"

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pressure and Timing Change of Velopharynx, Tongue Base, Low Pharynx and Upper Esophageal Sphincter.
Time Frame: During the electrical stimulation and electrical stimulation effects of Velopharynx, tongue base, lower pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter
Maximal pressure, integral, rise time, and duration in the regions of VP and TB (the time interval over the VP and TB integral). The maximal pressure of low pharynx (LP) (C in supplementary 1), maximal pre-upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure (F in supplementary 1), maximal cricopharyngeus (CP) pressure (D in supplementary 1), minimal upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure, upper esophageal sphincter (UES) activity time (the interval between pre-upper esophageal sphincter (UES) peak and post-upper esophageal sphincter (UES) peak; G in supplementary 1), and nadir upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure duration in the region of upper esophageal sphincter (UES).
