The data suggest that there is not a single "normal" or "typical" pattern for spontaneous saliva swallowing and that the polygraph seemed a valuable, simple, non-invasive and reliable tool to study the physiology of swallowing.

Preliminary approach for the surface electromyographical evaluation of the oral phase of swallowing

The reproducibility of a ssEMG protocol for the evaluation of the oral phase of saliva swallowing was determined, the protocol was reliable and intra-participants repeatable measures can be carried out, and further analyses are needed to draw a model of muscular activity.

Dysphagia Evaluation by Using Cross-correlation coefficient of Surface Electromyography

The result shows that the discoordination indexes for dysphagic patients were significantly larger than those for healthy subjects in submental muscles and can be used as an effective way for quantification of the coordination between bilateral swallowing muscles in future studies.

Effect of the Enveloppe Linguale Nocturne on atypical swallowing: surface electromyography and computerised postural test evaluation.

With ELN the tongue reaches the physiologic position during the swallowing and it is possible to have a low dental contact without tongue interference, and data suggest that this appliance has a function in the rehabilitation of atypical swallowing.

Surface Electromyography for Evaluating the Effect of Aging on the Coordination of Swallowing Muscles

SEMG can be used to investigate the effect of aging on the temporal coordination between masticatory and suprahyoid contraction and further studies are needed to verify the validity of screening subclinical dysphagia in the elderly.

Surface electromyograph activity of submental muscles during swallowing and expiratory muscle training tasks in Huntington's disease patients.

Directed Functional Coordination Analysis of Swallowing Muscles in Healthy and Dysphagic Subjects by Surface Electromyography

The results suggest that the functional coordination analysis of swallowing muscles contains relevant information on the swallowing process and possible dysfunctions associated with dysphagia, indicating that it could potentially be used to assess the progress of the disease or the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapies.

Electromyographic analysis of the oral phase of swallowing in subjects with and without atypical swallowing: A case-control study.

Two different muscular performance models have been defined: patients with atypical swallowing showed a longer activity of all the muscles involved with a lower intensity of SM activity than that of controls and patients without AS showed a significantly longer duration of activity.

Correlation between cervical auscultation and electromyography in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing

The acoustic swallowing parameters in healthy individuals are correlated with the electrical activity of muscles involved in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing.

Effect of ill-fitting dentures on the swallowing duration in patients using polygraphy.

Part of the increased duration of swallowing showed by elderly and healthy people is because of incorrect an dental prosthesis, which could be reconsidered in the light of the quality of dental device worn by the aged population.

Dysphagia in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Assessed Objectively by Surface Electromyography

Surface electromyography provides useful physiological information for the evaluation of swallowing in DMD patients, justifying further study.

Evaluation of Normal Deglutition with the Help of Rectified Surface Electromyography Records

The rectified and filtered sEMG provides a noninvasive means to assess certain aspects of complex muscle activity in deglutition as well as for comparison purposes in pre- and postoperative stages and in EMG monitoring during otolaryngological or neurological treatment.

Prevalence of atypical swallowing: a kinesiographic study.

The finding suggests that computerised kinesiography could be useful to study deglutition, detecting in a reliable way the movement pattern.

Biomechanical correlates of surface electromyography signals obtained during swallowing by healthy adults.

The results suggest that the sEMG signal is a useful indicator of major biomechanical events in the swallow, and future studies should address the impact of age and disease processes, as well as bolus characteristics, on the biomechanicals correlates of s EMG signals obtained during swallowing.

The effect of head and neck positions on oropharyngeal swallowing: a clinical and electrophysiologic study.

The electrophysiologic method of measuring dysphagia limit confirms neurogenic dysphagIA and its severity in the neutral head position and changes in head and neck postures do not significantly alter dysphagio limit in unimpaired subjects except for the chin-up position.

Anatomical and electromyographic studies of the digastric muscle.

The morphology of the muscles was studied by conventional dissections and by examination of specimens sectioned in the frontal and the horizontal planes, and recording sites and approaches were developed for the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscles.

Regression analysis of electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles versus bite force.

Steeper slopes for the EMG versus force regression curve at high contraction levels than at low contraction levels for the superficial masseter muscle may indicate that this muscle has a recruitment pattern that differs from that of the anterior temporal muscle.
