RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the reproducibility and reliability of a novel electromyogram (EMG) device with a flexible sheet sensor for measuring muscle activity related to mastication and swallowing. METHODS: We developed a new EMG device made of elastic sheet electrodes to measure the masseter and digastric muscle activities for evaluating mastication and swallowing. To examine the measurement reproducibility of the new EMG device, masseter muscle activity was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Further, we measured the maximum amplitude, duration, integrated value, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using the new EMG device and conventional EMG devices and evaluated the reliability using ICC and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS: We confirmed high ICC (1,1) and ICC (2,1) scores (0.92 and 0.88, respectively) while measuring the reproducibility of the new EMG device. When compared to the active electrode EMG device, we found a high correlation for the maximum amplitude (0.90), duration (0.99), integrated values (0.90), and SNR (0.75), with no observation of significant fixed errors. Moreover, the regression coefficient was not significant for any of the evaluation items and no proportional error was observed. Compared with the passive electrode EMG device, the maximum amplitude and duration were highly correlated (0.73 and 0.89). In addition, the SNR exhibited a significant fixed error. In contrast, the regression coefficient was not significant for any of the evaluation items and no proportional error was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the new EMG device can be used to reliably and reproducibly evaluate muscle activity during mastication and swallowing.

RESUMO

Purpose In the treatment of oral tumors, extensive jaw defects due to surgical resection can reduce masticatory performance. Herein, we aimed to clarify the factors related to masticatory performance in patients with jaw defects.Methods In total, 76 patients (42 male and 34 female) underwent prosthetic treatment with a removable denture for a jaw defect following oral tumor surgery. Data on history of radiation therapy, period of time since surgery, period of use of the present denture, number of remaining teeth, and site of the jaw defect were collected. Masticatory performance was evaluated using test gummy jelly. In addition, maximum bite force, tongue pressure, tongue-lip motor function (oral diadochokinesis /pa/, /ta/, /ka/), and oral dryness were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was performed with lower masticatory performance scores as the dependent variable. Since multicollinearity was suspected between the oral diadochokinesis /ta/ and /ka/ syllables, two logistic regression analyses were conducted: Model 1 with the /ta/ syllable as an explanatory variable, and Model 2 with the /ka/ syllable as an explanatory variable.Results In Model 1, a history of radiation therapy, maximum bite force, number of remaining teeth, tongue pressure, and oral diadochokinesis /ta/ were significant explanatory variables. In Model 2, a history of radiation therapy, maximum bite force, number of remaining teeth, and tongue pressure were significant explanatory variables.Conclusions A history of radiation therapy, maximum bite force, tongue pressure, number of remaining teeth, and motor function of the proglossis are related to decreased masticatory performance in patients with jaw defects.
