An oral exercise device that is portable, that has adjustable resistance and that allows the tongue to perform isotonic exercises in an environment that closely approximates the natural configuration of the tongue and the mouth to improve disorders of speech and swallowing.

Oral-lever resistance exercise device

A mouth supported tongue/hard palate pressure sensor allows pressures to be measured between the tongue and hard palate in an environment that closely approximates the configuration of the tongue and mouth during natural swallowing to provide diagnosis and therapy for swallowing disorders.

Apparatus for measuring tongue/hard palate contact pressure

Disclosed are a viscosity-standardized combination of solutions and a method of using the solutions for the diagnosis of dysphagia and for radiographic imaging of the oropharynx.
