[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on
masticatory muscle activation in elderly stroke patients.[Subjects and Methods] The subjects …

Objective To determine positive effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in
conventional dysphagia therapy on masseter muscle oral dysfunction of patients after …

We examined the changes of biting force after the application of deep friction massage on
the masticatory muscles of CVA subjects. The subjects were ten CVA patients (five males …

Background: Patients with dysphagia after stroke are treated with neuromuscular electrical
stimulation (NMES), but its effect on masseter muscle thickness and bite force in the oral …

Background Chewing dysfunction is one of the most common serious complications after a
stroke. It may be influenced by the hardness of the masseter muscle and masticatory …

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical
stimulation on facial muscle strength and oral function in stroke patients with facial …

The performance of the masticatory muscle is frequently affected and presents high
heterogeneity poststroke. Surface electromyography (EMG) is widely used to quantify …

Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the short-term effects of dry needling on
spasticity, gait, and muscle architecture of patients with chronic stroke. Methods A case …
