The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a supported sitting position on eating and swallowing functions. The subject was an elderly female with left hemiplegia after having a stroke in an institution. The maximum bite force and feeling of satisfaction for eating were compared while the subject was seated in her dining chair in a natural position and in a seating position with her trunk and pelvis supported. The maximum bite force was increased when the subject was provided better postural alignment with her back and pelvis supported. The subjective feelings of ease of food intake and for satisfaction were also improved. The results suggest that activities of the masticatory muscles are facilitated by annronriate of trunk and pelvis.
