Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the value of applying B+ M type and shear-wave elastic ultrasound in determining the parameters of the geniohyoid muscles of stroke survivors with dysphagia.Methods:Forty stroke survivors with dysphagia formed an observation group, while 20 healthy counterparts were chosen as the control group. The thickness of the geniohyoid muscle, as well as the movement distance, time, rate and shear wave velocity were measured using B+ M ultrasound and shear wave elastic ultrasound when swallowing nothing or 5ml of water, respectively.Results:The average thickness of the geniohyoid muscle and the average shear wave velocity of the observation group were significantly smaller than among the controls. When swallowing either nothing or water, the geniohyoid muscle in the observation group tended to move farther than among the controls, acting more slowly and taking significantly more time.Conclusion:Ultrasound can quantify the thickness of the geniohyoid muscle and its motor parameters and stiffness. It can be used to evaluate the swallowing function of stroke survivors with dysphagia.
