Values are presented as mean±standard deviation.

LP, lip pressure; AP, anterior hard palate-to-tongue pressure; PP, posterior hard palate-to-tongue pressure; BW, buccal-to-tongue pressure on the weak side; BH, buccal-to-tongue pressure on the healthy side; K-MMSE, the Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination; K-MBI, the Korean version of Modified Barthel Index.
