ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the difference of amplitude and duration in submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles activities during pharyngeal swallowing between normal adults and post-stroke dysphagia by using surface electromyography technique and analysis system.Method:The clinical data from 30 cases of PSD and 30 healthy controls were collected.ME6000-T8-type sEMG machine was used to collect sEMG of two groups in resting state,saliva swallow and wet swallow,and therefore calculate the average amplitude and duration.Result:①In resting state:there were no statistical difference in the average amplitude of submental and infrahyoid muscles between PSD group and control group(P>0.05);In PSD group:statistical differences were not observed in the amplitude between submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles;In control group:there were no statistical difference in the average amplitude between submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles;②During dry swallowing:the results indicated that the average amplitude of submental and infrahyoid muscles in PSD group were significantly lower than that in control group;and the duration of submental and infrahyoid muscles was significantly lower with statistical difference(P<0.05).③During wet swallowing(swallowing5ml water):the average amplitude of submental and infrahyoid muscles in control group were significantly higher than that in PSD group(P<0.005);and the duration of submental and infrahyoid muscles were also significantly prolonger (P<0.001);④Intra-group comparison:statistically differences were not observed in the amplitude and duration between submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles for both PSD group and control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:sEMG could be used as a non-invasive、simple、rapid tool in detecting the sEMG activities of related muscles during pharyngeal swallowing.The average amplitude and duration of submental and infrahyoid muscles can not only preliminarily screen and evaluate swallowing function,but also reflect the complexity and the elevation persistence time of the hyoid bone and the larynx in elevation movement,which were used to evaluate the neuromuscular function and predict the risk of aspiration of patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate a possible relationship between the duration of the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing. INTRODUCTION: The oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing are independent from each other but may be related. METHODS: We used videofluoroscopy to evaluate 30 healthy volunteers between 29 and 77 years of age who swallowed 5- and 10-ml liquid and paste boluses in duplicate. The duration of the oral phase, pharyngeal transit, and pharyngeal clearance were measured. RESULTS: There were no differences in oral or pharyngeal transit times between the liquid and paste boluses or between the volumes of 5 and 10 ml (p>0.40). The pharyngeal clearance time for the paste bolus (0.48 ± 0.27 s) was longer than for the liquid bolus (0.38 ± 0.11 s, p = 0.03) with no difference between the volumes of 5 and 10 ml. There was no significant correlation between the oral transit time and the duration of pharyngeal transit for the liquid (5 ml, Spearman's coefficient p: -0.14; 10 ml, p: 0.18) or the paste (5 ml, p: 0.08; 10 ml, p: 0.10). The correlation between the oral transit time and the pharyngeal clearance time was not significant for the liquid bolus (5 ml, p: 0.31; 10 ml, p: 0.18), but it was significant for both the 5 ml (p: 0.71) and 10 ml (p: 0.64) paste boluses. DISCUSSION: The relationship between the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing can be affected by bolus consistency. CONCLUSION: There is a correlation between the duration of oral transit and the duration of pharyngeal clearance during the swallowing of paste boluses.
