Comparison of 2 types of therapeutic exercise: jaw opening exercise and head lift exercise for dysphagic stroke

Spectral analysis of surface electromyography (EMG) of upper esophageal sphincter-opening muscles during head lift exercise.

Although recent studies have shown enhancement of deglutitive upper esophageal sphincter opening in healthy elderly patients performing an isometric/isotonic head lift exercise (HLE), the muscle groups affected by this process are not known. A shift in the spectral analysis of surface EMG activity seen with muscle fatigue can be used to identify muscles affected by an exercise. The objective of...

Effects of jaw opening exercise on aspiration in stroke patients with dysphagia: a pilot study

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of jaw opening exercise (JOE) on aspiration in patients with dysphagia after stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Three subjects were recruited. Isometric and isotonic JOE were performed using a rubber ball, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Aspiration was evaluated using the penetration-a spiration scale (PAS) based on a videofluoroscopic sw...
