Abstract
INTRODUCTION Senescent stomatognathic systems undergo anatomical changes that are not always compensated by physiology due to associated factors such as poorly fitted dentures, dental changes, and clinical conditions that trigger sarcopenia. When these conditions are not properly addressed, they can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Hence, this study aimed to map orofacial and cervical myofunctional intervention programmes for older adults, evaluate the current research in this area, and formulate suggestions for further investigation. METHODS Scoping review is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. The EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and grey literature databases were systematically searched. Studies addressing therapeutic programmes, myofunctional exercises, and their influence on the stomatognathic system of older adults were included. Studies with populations younger than 60 years, residing in long-term care facilities, homes, or hospital care, and with associated comorbidities were excluded, as well as secondary studies. RESULTS A total of 3098 studies were retrieved. After applying the eligibility criteria, nine studies were eligible for this review. The nine studies were published in English between 2008 and 2021 in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. The participants' mean ages ranged from 64 to 81 years, with a preponderance of females. Six of the studies divided the sample into intervention and control groups. Two studies referred to programmes to promote oral function through facial expression and tongue muscle exercises, salivary gland massage, and swallowing biomechanics. Seven studies report the positive influence of myofunctional exercises on the stomatognathic system. CONCLUSION The mapping concluded that therapeutic programmes, including educational actions, help prevent orofacial myofunctional disorders, and improve the functionality of the stomatognathic system.

[PMID: 38789680 DOI: 10.1007/s00455-024-10712-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
B-mode ultrasound is a safe noninvasive procedure that has been used to characterize aspects of the oropharyngeal swallow. The submental suprahyoid muscles are often investigated with ultrasound because of their contributions to hyolaryngeal elevation. There are several techniques for positioning the ultrasound transducer in the coronal plane, however, there is limited research on how reliability of measurement of the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the geniohyoid differs across transducer placement technique. This study examined three methods of transducer placement in the coronal plane by two examiners to determine the reliability of measurement of CSA of the geniohyoid muscle. Forty healthy adults participated in the study. Each participant's geniohyoid muscles were imaged using B-mode ultrasound under three transducer placement conditions in the coronal plane by two examiners. Geniohyoid CSA was measured from each ultrasound image. A three-way mixed-methods ANOVA was used to determine whether there were significant differences in geniohyoid CSA among transducer position conditions, trials, and examiners. There were significant differences among the transducer placement conditions, indicating that each condition was measuring a different portion of the muscle. There were no significant differences among repeated trials nor between examiners within each method of transducer placement. All three conditions of transducer placement were reliable at measuring geniohyoid CSA across trials and examiners. This study emphasizes the need for consistency of placement, whichever method is selected. It also highlights the need for researchers to provide a precise description of methods for positioning the transducer so that placement is reproducible.

Abstract
Insufficient suprahyoid muscle strength with poor opening of the upper esophageal sphincter can cause dysphagia. This study investigated whether an exercise of the suprahyoid muscle, named forehead exercise for suprahyoid muscles (FESM, "Enge-Odeko-Taiso" in Japanese), improves the geniohyoid muscle area and intensity using ultrasonography. Sixty-four participants (15 men and 49 women, 82.8 ± 6.0 years) living independently with no symptoms of swallowing difficulties were enrolled. The participants were divided into the FESM and the control group. The FESM is an isometric exercise involving repetitions of looking into the navel as if the chin is pulled back with little neck motion using a hand pushed against the forehead for resistance. This exercise is performed five times in 10 courses a day (total 50 times) for 8 weeks. Participants in the control group did not conduct any exercises. Body mass index, hand grip strength, gait speed, calf circumference, Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form, eating assessment tool, repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), and Food Intake LEVEL Scale scores were examined. The ultrasonographic geniohyoid muscle area, intensity, and RSST were investigated before and after the program. In the FESM group, the geniohyoid muscle area increased from 2.24 to 2.52 cm2 (P < 0.05), intensity decreased from 34.6 to 32.0 (P < 0.05), and the median RSST increased from 5 to 6 (P < 0.05) significantly. Conversely, no significant differences were observed in the control group. The FESM was effective to increase the area and decrease the intensity of the geniohyoid muscle and may improve swallowing function.

Noninvasive Evaluation of the Biomechanical Accommodations to Bolus Volume during Human Swallowing. Appl Bionics Biomech 2022; 2022:7146947. [DOI: 10.1155/2022/7146947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bolus volume is very important in the biomechanics of swallowing. By noninvasively characterizing swallow responses to volume challenges, we can gain more knowledge on swallowing and evaluate swallowing behavior easily. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of bolus volume on the biomechanical characteristics of oropharyngeal swallowing events with a noninvasive sensing system. Fifteen healthy male subjects were recruited and instructed to swallow 5, 10, and 15 ml of water. The sensing system consisted of a tongue pressure sensor sheet, bend sensor, surface electrodes, and a microphone. They were used to monitor tongue pressure, hyoid activity, surface EMG of swallowing-related muscles, and swallowing sound, respectively. In addition to the onset, the peak time and offset of the above four structures, certain characteristics, such as the duration, peak value, and interval of the structure motions, were measured during the different drinking tasks. The coordination between the hyoid movement and tongue pressure was also assessed. Although no sequence of the structural events changed with volume, most of the timings of the structural events were significantly delayed, except for certain hyoid activities. The swallowing volume did not affect the active durations of the monitored structures, the peak values, or intervals of tongue pressure and supra- and infrahyoid muscle activity, but certain hyoid kinetic phases were prolonged when a larger volume was swallowed. Additionally, sequential coordination between hyoid movement and tongue pressure was confirmed among the three volumes. These findings suggest that oropharyngeal structural movements change in response to bolus volume to facilitate safe swallowing. The noninvasive and quantitative measurements taken with the sensing system provide essential information for understanding normal oropharyngeal swallowing.

Abstract
Lingual strengthening training can improve the swallowing function in older adults, but the optimal method is unclear. We investigated the effects of a new progressive resistance exercise in the elderly by comparing with a conventional isometric tongue strengthening exercise. Twenty-nine participants were divided into two groups randomly. One group performed forceful swallow of 2 mL of water every 10 s for 20 min, and a total of 120 swallowing tasks per session at 80% angle of maximum head extension. The other group performed five repetitions in 24 sets with a 30 s rest, and the target level was settled at 80% of one repetition maximum using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). A total of 12 sessions were carried out by both groups over a 4-week period. Blinded measurements (for maximum lingual isometric pressure and peak pressure during swallowing) were obtained using IOPI before exercise and at four weeks in both groups. After four weeks, both groups showed a significant improvement in lingual strength involving both isometric and swallowing tasks. However, there was no significant difference between the groups in strength increase involving both tasks. Regardless of the manner, tongue-strengthening exercises substantially improved lingual pressure in the elderly with equal effect.

Using Ultrasound to Document the Effects of Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) on the Geniohyoid Muscle. Dysphagia 2021; 37:788-799.

Abstract
Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is an exercise program designed to strengthen the muscles of expiration by increasing expiratory load during breathing exercises using either resistive or pressure threshold devices. Previous research has shown that EMST may increase submental suprahyoid muscle activity as measured with surface electromyography. The impact of EMST on submental muscles is of interest to those who treat dysphagia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the cross-sectional area of the geniohyoid muscle changes as observed with ultrasound during a 5-week EMST program performed at 75% of maximum expiratory strength using the EMST150 device in healthy adults. Ten healthy adults participated in the 5-week program. Maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and cross-sectional area of the geniohyoid muscle were measured weekly. Geniohyoid cross-sectional area was measured from ultrasound images recorded in the coronal plane. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to determine whether there were significant changes among the dependent variables over the study period. Both MEP and geniohyoid area increased significantly in response to a 5-week program of EMST. EMST in healthy adults is effective at strengthening the geniohyoid muscle as reflected by significantly increased cross-sectional area measured with B-mode ultrasound. This is the first study to document weekly change in muscle morphology as a result of EMST. Increasing geniohyoid muscle mass and consequent strength through a program of EMST may be beneficial for persons with pharyngeal stage dysphagia resulting from reduced hyolaryngeal elevation, reduced laryngeal closure, or reduced UES opening.

Effects of Effortful Swallowing Exercise with Progressive Anterior Tongue Press Using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) on the Strength of Swallowing-Related Muscles in the Elderly: A Preliminary Study. Dysphagia 2021; 37:158-167.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of effortful swallowing (ES) exercise programs applied to increase the swallowing-related muscle strength in the elderly. In this study, 20 healthy elderly people (76.65 ± 5.87 years; 10 women and 10 men) participated and exercised for 7 weeks. The experimental group performed ES exercise combined with external resistance using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), and the control group performed pure ES without external resistance. The exercises were performed for 20 min a day, 2 days a week for 7 weeks in both groups. ES was repeated 60 times in weeks 1 and 2, 80 times in week 3 and 4, and 120 times in weeks 5-7. In the experimental group, the isometric and swallowing tongue pressures at week 8 were significantly improved compared to baseline. At week 8, the anterior and swallowing tongue pressures and anterior tongue endurance were significantly higher than those of the control group. In the control group, no significant change in tongue pressure-related variables was observed after 7 weeks of exercise. ES exercise combined with IOPI resistance for 7 weeks tended to increase the suprahyoid muscle activation level without statistical significance. For clinical application of this exercise protocol, further studies including more elderly people and patients with dysphagia are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate age and other factors related to the deterioration of the muscles used for swallowing, including the tongue and suprahyoid muscles. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS This study included 146 participants: 47 younger adults (23 men and 24 women; age range 23-44 years) recruited from a dental hospital and 99 community-dwelling older adults (37 men and 62 women, age range 65-86 years). METHODS Age (<65 years or ≥65 years), body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and tooth loss (Eichner classification) were measured. The cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the tongue, geniohyoid muscle, and anterior belly of the digastric muscle were measured using an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. The correlation between each muscle's CSA and strength was examined. Multiple regression analyses were performed separately for each sex using each muscle CSA as the dependent variable and age, BMI, SMI, and the Eichner classification as explanatory variables. RESULTS Older men had a significant positive correlation between tongue pressure and CSA (r = 0.35, P = .031). Jaw opening force was positively correlated with geniohyoid muscle CSA (r = 0.41, P = .001) in older women. In the multiple regression analysis, age, BMI, and SMI were significantly associated with tongue CSA in men. Age was significantly and inversely associated with suprahyoid muscle CSA in both men and women. No explanatory variables were significantly associated with geniohyoid muscle CSA except age. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The tongue increased in volume, and the suprahyoid muscles underwent atrophy with age. The study results suggest that interventions to prevent dysphagia associated with aging should be tailored toward specific muscles. Direct muscle training is required for the suprahyoid muscles, whereas the maintenance of tongue muscle mass and function, as well as training for the tongue, requires attention to ensure optimal nutritional status and whole-body skeletal muscle mass.

Abstract
Background: It has recently been shown that suprahyoid muscle exercise using kinesiology taping (KT) increases the activation of the suprahyoid muscle in healthy adults, suggesting a potential therapeutic clinical exercise for dysphagia rehabilitation. This study investigated the effect of dysphagia rehabilitation using KT in stroke patients with dysphagia. Methods: Thirty subjects in South Korea were enrolled in this prospective placebo-controlled double-blind study. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and sham groups. In the experimental group, the tape was attached to the hyolaryngeal complex, pulled downward with approximately 70% tension, and then attached to the sternum and the clavicle bilaterally. In the sham group, the tape was applied similarly but without the tension. Both groups performed voluntary swallowing 50 times (10 times swallowing per set, times 5 sets) a day for 4 weeks with KT applied. Outcome measures were assessed using portable ultrasound equipment. The parameter measured was the change in thickness of the tongue muscle, mylohyoid muscle, and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant changes in the thickness of the tongue muscle, mylohyoid muscle, and anterior belly of the digastric muscle than the sham group (p = 0.007, 0.002, and 0.001). Conclusion: Dysphagia rehabilitation using KT is a technique that may promote oropharyngeal muscle thickness in patients with dysphagia after stroke.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the jaw opening exercise (JOE) on the thickness of the suprahyoid muscle and hyoid bone movement compared with the head lift exercise (HLE) in patients with dysphagia after strokeThis study recruited 30 patients with dysphagia after stroke. The JOE group performed a JOE using a resistance bar. The HLE group performed the traditional HLE. The total intervention duration was 6 weeks. We measured the thickness of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles using ultrasound. Two-dimensional motion analysis of the hyoid bone was performed using Image J software. The Borg rating of the perceived exertion scale was used to assess the intensity level of physical activity during the 2 exercises.Both groups showed a significant increase in the thickness of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles (P < .05). Hyoid bone motion was significantly increased in the anterior and superior movement in both groups (P < .05). After the intervention, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. The Borg rating of perceived exertion scale for the JOE group was significantly lower than that of the HLE group (P < .05).In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the JOE and the HLE had similar effects with respect to increasing suprahyoid muscle thickness and improving hyoid bone movement. However, the JOE required less perceived exertion than the HLE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tongue pressure (TP) is used for the diagnosis of oral hypofunction; however, the impact of several variables on TP is unclear. Therefore, the current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyse the variability in tongue pressure among healthy individuals aged ≥60 years vs <60 years. Secondary outcomes were the influence of gender and the type of measuring device (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) vs JMS tongue pressure measurement device (JMS)). METHODS PubMed and the Japanese database Ichushi-Web were searched systematically by two independent reviewers for studies reporting TP values in healthy populations. Clinical studies published between 1959 and June 2020 with more than 10 participants, written in English, German or Japanese, were included. A random-effects meta-regression for aggregate-level data was applied (α < 0.05). RESULTS Sixty-eight studies reported TP for a total of 13 773 subjects aged <60 years (n = 3265) and ≥60 years (n = 10 508). TP was significantly higher in subjects <60 years (estimated weighted mean (EWM) ± standard error = 51.9 ± 1.28 kPa; 95% CI = 49.4-54.4) relative to those ≥60 (EWM = 34.7 ± 0.94 kPa; 95% CI = 32.8-36.5) (P < .001), men (EWM = 45.9 ± 2.09 kPa; 95% CI = 41.8-50.0) relative to women (EWM = 39.3 ± 1.68 kPa; 95% CI = 36.0-42.6) (P = .015) and when assessed with the IOPI (EWM = 51.9 ± 1.32 kPa; 95% CI = 49.3-54.5) compared to the JMS (EWM = 33.5 ± 0.63 kPa; 95% CI = 32.2-34.7) (P < .001). In terms of gender, there was no significant difference in TP among subjects ≥60 years (P = .282). However, in subjects younger than 60, a significant difference was observed (P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Healthy populations aged <60 years showed significantly higher TP than those aged ≥60 years. TP values ascertained by the IOPI are significantly higher than those obtained with the JMS.

BACKGROUND The jaw-opening exercise (JOE) is designed to strengthen the suprahyoid muscles. However, it is difficult to apply this strength-training exercise to subjects in a systematic fashion. OBJECTIVE This study examined the effect of resistive JOE on suprahyoid muscle activity and tongue strength in the elderly through the use of an elastic band. METHODS Eight elderly people aged ≥65 years participated in this study. Participants wore an elastic loop around their head and mandible. The strength of the elastic loop used was adjusted based on the participant's sex, and the same strength loop was used for 8 weeks. Participants were required to open their jaw maximally, maintain the position for 10 s, and then rest for 10 s. This process was repeated for 10 min. There was then a rest period of 2 min before subjects began another 10-min exercise set. All participants performed the exercise twice weekly for 8 weeks. All subjects were tested for suprahyoid muscle activation during typical/effortful swallowing as well as isometric tongue pressures and endurances at baseline and at 9 weeks. RESULTS After 8 weeks of exercise, the isometric maximum tongue-base pressure and tongue endurance were significantly improved. However, the swallowing tongue pressure and suprahyoid muscle activation levels had not changed significantly. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that consistent resistance, which provides the same resistance throughout a resistive JOE exercise, is inadequate to reliably improve the muscle strength of swallowing-related muscles. Subsequent research should consider this and plan more efficient exercise programs.

Oh JC. Systematic Effortful Swallowing Exercise Without External Resistance Does Not Increase Swallowing-Related Muscle Strength in the Elderly. Dysphagia 2020; 36:465-473. [PMID: 32720053 DOI: 10.1007/s00455-020-10163-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Effortful swallow (ES) is a maneuver intended to increase pressure on a bolus by swallowing and pushing with sufficient force to facilitate clearance. Although ES is mainly known for its immediate effects, the long-term effects of applying ES as an exercise program remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of a 7-week systematic ES exercise regime on swallowing-related muscle strength in individuals aged 65 years and over. In total, 30 healthy older adults participated in this study (16 women and 14 men, aged 67-90 years). The subjects participated in the exercise program for 20 min a day, twice a week, for 7 weeks. To gradually increase exercise intensity, the number of exercises per session was increased from the initial 60 repetitions (weeks 1-2) to 120 repetitions (weeks 5-7). To measure the effect of the strengthening exercise program, the activation level of suprahyoid muscles was measured using surface electromyography, and a tongue pressure measurement system was used to measure variables related to tongue strength (isometric tongue pressure, swallowing tongue pressure, and tongue endurance). Although the effect of ES exercise on muscle strength through gradual adjustment of exercise frequency was not confirmed, ES remains valuable as an exercise for strengthening the muscles involved in swallowing. Future studies are warranted to determine the effects of ES exercise after adjusting for other variables of exercise intensity.

Abstract
Background/purpose Tongue pressure measurement conveys important information about eating and swallowing function. The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument® (IOPI) and KAY Swallowing Workstation® are internationally used for tongue pressure measurement, but for legal reasons cannot be used in Japan; rather the JMS tongue pressure measurement device® has been approved for use in Japan. However, it is not clear whether measurement obtained with these devices are directly comparable. Materials and methods This study investigated the correlation between the maximum tongue pressure data measured by the IOPI and the JMS tongue pressure measurement device in young healthy participants (34 males; 23.2 ± 2.0 years old, and 40 females; 21.4 ± 1.3 years old). Results Measurements obtained with these two devices showed significant correlations in the total cohort, and in male and female participants, separately (P < 0.05). Conclusion These findings demonstrate that the measurements obtained with the JMS device is comparable to those obtained with the IOPI. In Japan, JMS tongue pressure measurement device is used not only in dysphagia research field, but also geriatrics field, and extensive and detailed investigations has been carried out.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal exercise doses for exercise-based approaches to dysphagia treatment are unclear. To address this gap in knowledge, we performed a scoping review to provide a record of doses reported in the literature. A larger goal of this work was to promote detailed consideration of dosing parameters in dysphagia exercise treatments in intervention planning and outcome reporting. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus[Embase], CINAHL, and Cochrane databases from inception to July 2019, with search terms relating to dysphagia and exercises to treat swallowing impairments. Of the eligible 1906 peer-reviewed articles, 72 met inclusionary criteria by reporting, at minimum, both the frequency and duration of their exercise-based treatments. RESULTS Study interventions included tongue exercise (n = 16), Shaker/head lift (n = 13), respiratory muscle strength training (n = 6), combination exercise programs (n = 20), mandibular movement exercises (n = 7), lip muscle training (n = 5), and other programs that did not fit into the categories described above (n = 5). Frequency recommendations varied greatly by exercise type. Duration recommendations ranged from 4 weeks to 1 year. In articles reporting repetitions (n = 66), the range was 1 to 120 reps/day. In articles reporting intensity (n = 59), descriptions included values for force, movement duration, or descriptive verbal cues, such as "as hard as possible." Outcome measures were highly varied across and within specific exercise types. CONCLUSIONS We recommend inclusion of at least the frequency, duration, repetition, and intensity components of exercise dose to improve reproducibility, interpretation, and comparison across studies. Further research is required to determine optimal dose ranges for the wide variety of exercise-based dysphagia interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare three different exercises for dysphagia to see if they had effects on tongue strength. DESIGN Thirty-one healthy volunteers were randomly divided into three groups. One group (G1, n = 10) performed 24 sets of five repetitions with 30 s rest with the target level set at 80 % of one repetition maximum using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) per day. Another group (G2, n = 10) performed exercise which was consisted of forceful swallow of 5 mL of water in a neutral posture every 10 s for 20 min per day. The other group (G3, n = 11) performed 5 mL of water swallowing exercise in chin-down posture every 10 s for 20 min per day. A total of 12 sessions in four weeks were performed in all groups. Blinded lingual strength measures (maximal isometric pressure) were obtained using IOPI before training and at four weeks after training for the three groups. RESULTS After four weeks of training, measures of tongue strength were increased significantly in all groups. However, there was no significant difference in strength increment among groups [average increase in strength ± standard deviation (% of initial value): G1, 10.3 ± 10.4 %; G2, 8.7 ± 9.45 %; G3, 9.9 ± 12.6 %, p = 0.825]. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the type, tongue strengthening exercises had good effects in improving the swallowing function with equal superiority.
