In this study, we investigated the effects of carbonated water concentration on swallowing function using surface electromyography (sEMG). Healthy subjects ( n  = 52, 26.77 ± 3.21 years old) were asked to perform two swallows each of noncarbonated water, low-concentration carbonated water, medium-co...
