Synchronization between videofluoroscopic swallowing study and surface electromyography in patients with neurological involvement presenting symptoms of dysphagia
Abstract
Introduction: Dysphagia is defined as the difficulty in transporting food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. The gold standard to diagnose this condition is the videofluoroscopic swallowing study. However, it exposes patients to ionizing radiation. Surface electromyography is a non-radioactive alternative for dysphagia evaluation that records muscle electrical activity during swallowing.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the relative activation times of the muscles involved in the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing and the kinematic events detected in the videofluoroscopy.
Materials and methods: Electromiographic signals from ten patients with neurological involvement who presented symptoms of dysphagia were analyzed simultaneously with
videofluoroscopy. Patients were given 5 ml of yogurt, 10 ml of water, and 3 g of crackers. Masseter, suprahyoid, and infrahyoid muscle groups were studied bilaterally. The bolus transit through the mandibular line, vallecula, and the cricopharyngeus muscle was analyzed in relation to the onset and offset times of each muscle group activation.
Results: The average time of the pharyngeal phase was 0.89 ± 0.12 s. Muscle activation was mostly observed prior to the bolus transit through the mandibular line and vallecula. The end of the muscle activity suggested that the passage of the bolus through the cricopharyngeus muscle was almost complete.
Conclusión: The muscle activity times, duration of the pharyngeal phase, and sequence of the muscle groups involved in swallowing were determined using sEMG validated with the videofluoroscopic swallowing study.
