Abstract

<p>Objective: The objective was to study ultrasound treatment for patients with Parkinsonʼs disease who are experiencing swallowing difficulties.</p><p>Subjects: The subjects were 16 patients with Parkinsonʼs disease who had been admitted to facilities and who presented swallowing difficulties.</p><p>Method: We implemented ultrasounds on infrahyoid muscles. A surface electromyographical analysis, modified water swallow test, relative larynx position, and frequency of dominant aspiration were compared before and after intervention. For the surface electromyogram analysis, We measured the average amplitude and the deglutition time of the masseter muscle, musculus digastricus, and musculus thyrohyoideus.</p><p>Results: Significant differences were found in the average amplitude of the musculus digastricus and musculus thyrohyoideus, Time lag of the musculus digastricus contraction and musculus thyrohyoideus contraction, contraction time of the musculus digastricus and musculus thyrohyoideus, relative larynx position, modified water swallow test, and frequency of dominant aspiration.</p><p>Conclusion: Ultrasound on infrahyoid muscles controls high-stripe tension rigidity and has an positive effect on the deglutition function.</p>
