(1) Background: Dysphagia is a clinical hallmark and part of the current American College of
Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) diagnostic criteria for …

A literature review was conducted on hyoid and/or laryngeal displacement during
swallowing in healthy populations according to several inclusion criteria. Anterior and …

Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) involves forcible blowing as a means of
generating high expiratory pressure, against adjustable resistance. EMST has recently been …

Purpose This study investigated the concurrent biomechanical and electromyographic
properties of 2 swallow-specific tasks (effortful swallow and Mendelsohn maneuver) and 1 …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used as a therapeutic intervention
for dysphagia. However, the therapeutic effects of NMES lack supporting evidence. In recent …

Purpose Traditional methods for measuring hyoid excursion from dynamic videofluoroscopy
recordings involve calculating changes in position in absolute units (mm). This method …

The purpose of this study was to investigate swallowing kinematics and explore kinematic
factors related with penetration-aspiration in patients with post-stroke dysphagia …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the function and importance of infrahyoid
muscles with the suprahyoid muscles during swallowing, and to investigate swallowing …

Hyoid movement in swallowing is biomechanically linked to closure of the laryngeal
vestibule for airway protection and to opening of the upper esophageal sphincter. Studies …

Several exercise methods, such as the Shaker exercise, tongue press exercise, chin tuck
against resistance (CTAR) exercise, and submandibular push exercise, have been …
