These figures show the parameters of high resolution manometer. (A) The individual peaks in the areas of interest. Each peak shows [1] velopharyngeal peak, [2] tongue base (TB) peaks, [3] low pharyngeal peak, [4] upper esophageal sphincter (UES) peak, [5] tilting of epiglottis, [6] pre-UES peak, [7] UES activity time, and [8] Nadir UES duration. The [5] peak shows the epiglottic tilting peak in front of the TB peak. (B) The contact of bolus with epiglottis. (C) The tilting of epiglottis. At this time, the tilted epiglottis strikes the manometric catheter, resulting in the peak [5].
