“…There are relatively few studies using myotonometry involving the orofacial muscles [16,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Hence, there is a need to learn about the biomechanical properties of muscles, not only among healthy patients but also among people with various parafunctions, among people with malocclusion and among patients with TMD pain.…”

It seems extremely important to know the biomechanical properties of the orofacial tissues among patients with increased activity of masticatory muscles, such as bruxism. The aim of this study was to evaluate biomechanical properties of the masseter muscle by using MyotonPRO in adults with probable bruxism and to define gender relations. This study was conducted in the Temporomandibular Disorders Department at Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland (June 2021–November 2021) among patients that reported bruxism symptoms The patients underwent a clinical examination, then the biomechanical properties of the masseter muscles were assessed. The MyotonPro measured masseter tone, stiffness and elasticity in 36 patients with a self-assessment of bruxism (18 women and 18 men). Data were collected from relaxed and contracted muscles. In relaxed masseter muscles there were no statistically significant differences between the sexes in muscle tone, stiffness and elasticity. During contraction significant differences were found between the sexes in the tension and the stiffness of the masseter muscles. Moreover, women often experienced headaches in the temporal region and pain in the masseter muscles during palpation. Among patients with a self-assessment of bruxism, accompanying pain was significantly more frequent in women. Male gender was associated with increased muscle tension and stiffness of the contracted masseter muscle.

“…Zudem muss geklärt sein, welche Therapiemethode für welche Klientel geeignet ist. Dabei ist ein Trend in Richtung einer individuell angepassten Therapie erkennbar: Mit einer kleinen Studienkohorte maßen Maden et al 67 gezielt die am Schlucken beteiligten Muskeln bei MS-Patient*innen hinsichtlich Tonus, Steifigkeit und Elastizität, in diesem Fall des M. masseter und des M. sternocleidomastoideus. Auch wenn diese Studie nur kleinere Unterschiede im linksseitigen M. sternocleidomastoideus hinsichtlich des Tonus und der Steifigkeit ergab, ist diese Diagnostikmethode für eine gezielte und individuelle Therapieableitung ein möglicher neuer Weg.…”

In Deutschland sind schätzungsweise mehr als 280 000 Menschen an Multipler Sklerose (MS) erkrankt. Neben sensiblen, motorischen, vegetativen und neuropsychologischen Funktionsstörungen ist die Dysphagie ein hochrelevantes, stark beeinträchtigendes und zugleich bislang nicht gut untersuchtes Symptom der Erkrankung. Der Artikel bietet eine Übersicht über die aktuelle Studienlage zur Dysphagie bei MS und soll die Wahrnehmung für das Symptom Schluckstörung im Kontext der MS-Erkrankung schärfen. Techniken zur weiterführenden Diagnostik und Therapie werden vorgestellt mit dem langfristigen Ziel, betroffene Menschen mit MS künftig zuverlässiger zu diagnostizieren, ihnen optimierte Hilfe zu bieten und ihre Lebensqualität zu verbessern.

Dysphagia is a pervasive health issue that impacts diverse demographic groups worldwide, particularly the elderly, stroke survivors, and those suffering from neurological disorders. This condition poses substantial health risks, including malnutrition, respiratory complications, and increased mortality. Additionally, it exacerbates economic burdens by extending hospital stays and escalating healthcare costs. Given that this disorder is frequently underestimated in vulnerable populations, there is an urgent need for enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Traditional diagnostic tools such as the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) require interpretation by clinical experts and may lead to complications. In contrast, non-invasive sensors offer a more comfortable and convenient approach for assessing swallowing function. This review systematically examines recent advancements in non-invasive swallowing function detection devices, focusing on the validation of the device designs and their implementation in clinical practice. Moreover, this review discusses the swallowing process and the associated biomechanics, providing a theoretical foundation for the technologies discussed. It is hoped that this comprehensive overview will facilitate a paradigm shift in swallowing assessments, steering the development of technologies towards more accessible and accurate diagnostic tools, thereby improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
