Özet
Background: Various trainings focus on the submental muscles (SMs) for dysphagia rehabilitation because of their importancefor swallowing safety and efficiency. According to the current literature, swallow-specific tasks may be optimal exercises fordysphagia. The effortful swallow (ES) and the Masako maneuver (MM) are the most commonly used swallow-specific tasks inthe clinical settings for dysphagia for years, but long-term effects for these trainings is insufficient.Objectives: This study aims to investigate and compare the effects of ES and MM on SM activity, strength and thickness.Methods: Thirty-seven healthy adults were randomised to ES, MM and control groups, and ES and MM groups completed6 weeks of swallowing training. Participants in both training groups performed a total of 120 swallows in each session, whilecontrol group did not participate in any swallowing training. Surface electromyography was used to evaluate SM activity, digitaldynamometer for SM strength and ultrasonography for SM thickness.Results: Both trainings did not change SM activity (p > 0.05), but increased SM strength (p < 0.05). MM increased the thicknessof all SM (p < 0.05), and ES increased the thickness of mylohyoid (right, left) and digastric muscle (right) (p < 0.05), and therewas no change in all evaluation parameters in the control group (p > 0.05). Also, trainings were not superior to each other in anyparameter (p > 0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study provided new evidence to the literature to show that ES and MM trainings are effectivefor improving SM strength and thickness. Considering that SM is important in terms of swallowing safety and effectiveness, it isthought that both trainings may be promising by increasing the strength and mass of SM, especially in individuals with reducedSM strength and mass.
