“…Compared with CT and MRI, ultrasonography is characterized by being radiation-free, portable, easy to use, and having a low cost, and short examination time, thus, making it useful for screening many people in order to confirm their muscle status. Several reports evaluated swallowing muscle mass and brightness, later as a measure of muscle quality, by ultrasonography [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Muscle brightness suggests infiltration of fat [20].…”

Aim To measure age-related changes in swallowing muscles by ultrasonography as a non-invasive method. Findings By ultrasonography, we found that old people had a smaller geniohyoid muscle area and greater geniohyoid muscle brightness than young people. Our analyses indicated that age and whole-body skeletal muscle mass were associated with mass and quality of the geniohyoid muscle. Message Ultrasonography effectively identified the association between atrophy of the swallowing muscles and aging and loss of whole-body skeletal muscle mass.

“…The data presented here were collected as part of an on ongoing research program to develop a nonhuman primate model of human swallowing biomechanics (Nakamura et al, 2017). Previous studies have measured hyolingual kinematics (Franks et al, 1984;German et al, 1989;Hiiemae et al, 1995;Steele and Van Lieshout, 2008;Matsuo and Palmer, 2010;Nakamura et al, 2017), individual muscle activity (Inokuchi et al, 2014(Inokuchi et al, , 2016, muscle length (Okada et al, 2013;Feng et al, 2015), and simultaneous skeletal kinematics and EMG (Palmer et al, 1992;Park et al, 2017), but this is the first study to integrate EMG with in vivo 3D measures of both hyolingual kinematics and muscle length, orientation, and velocity. Specifically, this article demonstrates how integration of these techniques can be used to evaluate the mechanisms underlying hyoid elevation during chewing and swallowing ( Fig.…”

The tradeoff between force and velocity in skeletal muscle is a fundamental constraint on vertebrate musculoskeletal design (form:function relationships). Understanding how and why different lineages address this biomechanical problem is an important goal of vertebrate musculoskeletal functional morphology. Our ability to answer questions about the different solutions to this tradeoff has been significantly improved by recent advances in techniques for quantifying musculoskeletal morphology and movement. Herein, we have three objectives: (1) review the morphological and physiological parameters that affect muscle function and how these parameters interact; (2) discuss the necessity of integrating morphological and physiological lines of evidence to understand muscle function and the new, high resolution imaging technologies that do so; and (3) present a method that integrates high spatiotemporal resolution motion capture (XROMM, including its corollary fluoromicrometry), high resolution soft tissue imaging (diceCT), and electromyography to study musculoskeletal dynamics in vivo. The method is demonstrated using a case study of in vivo primate hyolingual biomechanics during chewing and swallowing. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates that small deviations in reconstructed hyoid muscle attachment site location introduce an average error of 13.2% to in vivo muscle kinematics. The observed hyoid and muscle kinematics suggest that hyoid elevation is produced by multiple muscles and that fascicle rotation and tendon strain decouple fascicle strain from hyoid movement and whole muscle length. Lastly, we highlight current limitations of these techniques, some of which will likely soon be overcome through methodological improvements, and some of which are inherent.

“…8,9 Additionally, this apparatus is useful for evaluation of soft tissue movement during function; several reports have described observation of the tongue and geniohyoid muscle during mastication and swallowing. 12 An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus can be used to evaluate muscle quantity, as well as muscle quality (ie echo intensity). 10 A relationship between tongue thickness (TT) and tongue movement was also shown in an ultrasonic study comparing TT at rest and during bolus passage.…”

“…11 Moreover, the movement of hyoid bone in swallowing and geniohyoid muscle mass can be evaluated by use of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and appear to be interrelated. 12 An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus can be used to evaluate muscle quantity, as well as muscle quality (ie echo intensity). 13 With respect to the limb muscles of elderly women and middle school boys, muscle quantity and quality are related to muscle strength and physical function.…”

Background: Mastication is a complicated task that involves the teeth and perioral muscles, such as the tongue and lip. Previous studies have shown correlations between masticatory performance and perioral muscle strength (eg tongue pressure) and between masticatory performance and occlusal forces.Objective: To investigate the relationships between masticatory performance and perioral muscle characteristics.Methods: Forty-nine healthy young subjects (men: 24 and women: 25) with Eichner classification group A were included in this cross-sectional study. Age, body weight, masticatory performance, masseter muscle thickness, masseter muscle echo intensity, cross-sectional area of geniohyoid muscle, geniohyoid muscle echo intensity, tongue thickness (TT) and tongue echo intensity were assessed. Masticatory performance was evaluated using a colour-changeable chewing gum. The thickness and echo intensity of the masseter muscle, geniohyoid muscle and tongue were observed using an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine relationships between perioral muscle characteristics and masticatory performance.Results: Tongue thickness (P < .01) was the sole significant explanatory variable for masticatory performance. The standard partial regression coefficient was 0.47. The multiple correlation coefficient (R) was .47, and the adjusted R 2 was .20; the variance inflation factor was 1.0. This study showed that TT was related to masticatory performance, whereas perioral muscle quality was not. Moreover, perioral muscle quantity was highly correlated with perioral muscle quality. Conclusions:Tongue thickness is a predictor of masticatory performance in healthy young subjects. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is useful in the evaluation of perioral muscle characteristics.
