Abstract

The article relates the study on the investigation and comparison of the different physiological characteristics of swallowing patterns between people with mental disabilities and normal individuals of the same chronological age using the cinefluorographic analysis. After comparing different mentally retarded subjects and normal subjects, it is suggested that the cinefluorographic procedure applied is useful as a diagnostic indication of mental disability.
