PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between the activity of suprahyoid muscles, infrahyoid muscles and swallowing ability in stroke patients with dysphagia. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 120 patients who were diagnosed with CT or MRI stroke and had swallowing disorder at Daegu Metropolitan General Hospital from August 2014 to February 2017. The suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscle activity was measured in patients with dysphagia and the new videofluoroscopy swallowing studies scale (new VFSS scale) was used for evaluation of swallowing function. Correlation analysis was conducted using the measured data. RESULTS: The activities of suprahyoid muscles were 325.8 (%RVC) on average, while the average infrahyoid muscle activity was 302.65 (%RVC) and the average value of the new VFSS scale was 31.52. The total for oral organs was 3.62 on average and that for pharynx organs was 28.30 on average. The activity of the suprahyoid muscles showed a significant positive correlation with the activity of the infrahyoid muscles, but a significant negative correlation with the total oral phase, total pharyngeal phase and total new VFSS scale (p<.01). The activity of the infrahyoid muscles showed a significant negative correlation with the total oral phase, total pharyngeal phase, and total new VFSS (p<.01). CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary for researchers to consider the infrahyoid and suprahyoid muscles when conducting swallowing rehabilitation.

Extrinsic laryngeal muscles are well known to be important for the classical singers. We tried to elucidate any differences in the function of above muscles between trained and untrained singers by non-invasive surface electromyography(EMG). Four trained sopranos and four untrained singers sang vowel /i/ at different pitch(E3, G3, C4, E4, G4, C5, E5, G5, C6). The EMG activities of the suprahyoid, infrahyoid and omohyoid muscles were measured using surface electrodes. In trained singers, infrahyoid muscle activities increased more than those of suprahyoid in most of pitch. To the contrary, in untrained singers, the pattern of EMG activities were variable among each subjects and the EMG activities of suprahyoid muscles were relatively greater than those of infrahyoid.

목적 : 본 연구는 정상 성인을 대상으로 삼킴 시 물의 온도와 양에 따른 목뿔위근육과 목뿔아래근육의 활성도를 측정하여, 임상에서 삼킴장애를 평가하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 연구 방법 : 건강한 성인 27명을 대상으로 물의 양과 온도에 따른 목뿔위근육과 목뿔아래근육의 근활성도를 비교하기 위하여 양은 3 mL, 20 mL로, 온도는 $4^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$로 각각 설정하였고, 대상자별로 기준값(reference voluntary contraction, %RVC)을 설정하기 위하여, 침을 삼키는 동안 오른쪽 및 왼쪽 목뿔위근육과 목뿔아래근육의 활성도를 3회 측정하여 평균값을 사용하였다. 연구 장비는 안드로이드 기반 근전도 측정 장비인 2EM(4D-MT, Relive, Gimhae, Korea)을 이용하여 자료를 수집, 처리하였다. 결과 : 양을 기준으로 비교했을 때 왼쪽 목뿔아래근육은 $4^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$에서 (p=.00; p=.00; p=.00), 오른쪽 목뿔아래근육은 $22^{\circ}C$와 $40^{\circ}C$에서 (p=.01; p=.01), 왼쪽 목뿔위근육은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 (p=.03), 3 mL 물보다는 20 mL 물을 삼킬 때 근활성도가 증가하였다. 온도를 기준으로 분석한 결과 20 mL의 물을 삼킬 때 $4^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$ 보다는 $40^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 오른쪽 목뿔위근육의 근활성도가 유의하게 감소하였다 (p=.04). 결론 : 20 mL가 3 mL보다 오른쪽 및 왼쪽 목뿔아래근육, 왼쪽 목뿔위근육에서 근활성도가 유의하게 증가하였고, $40^{\circ}C$가 $4^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$보다 오른쪽 목뿔위근육에서 근활성도의 유의한 감소를 보였으나, 양과 온도를 모두 고려한 일부조건에서만 의미가 있었다. 추후에는 점도, 맛 등의 다른 변수를 고려하여 건강한 대상자 뿐 아니라 신경계 손상환자를 대상으로 한 임상연구가 더 필요할 것이다.

Although the relationship between temporomandibular disorder and forward head posture (FHP) is controversial, it is generally accepted that altered head posture can affect mandible position and masticatory muscles activity. Because suprahyoid (SH) and infrahyoid (IH) muscles are stretched by increased passive tension in FHP, this study investigated their activity during mouth opening in FHP compared to neutral head posture (NHP). Twenty healthy subjects (10 males and 10 females) participated in this study. Head postures were evaluated with a cervical range of motion instrument. Electromyography (EMG) activity of bilateral SH and IH muscles was measured while an open mouth was maintained at each head posture. Paired t-test was used to identify significant differences in normalized EMG activity between head postures. Statistical significance was set at .01. Results showed the normalized EMG activity of SH and IH muscles were significantly lower in FHP compared to NHP. This finding indicates that FHP affects the EMG activity of hyoid muscles when they are stretched.

This study were to review of muscle imbalance of head, cervical and shoulder region. Head, cervical and shoulder region is a complicated mechanical unit. interconnected by numerous soft tissue links. These links, or articulation are functionaly and reflexly interdependent on one another. The line of gravity falls anterior to the transverse axis of rotation for flexion and extension of the head and creates a flexion moment. which tends to tut the head forward, is counteracted by tension in the tectorial membrane, and ligamentum nuchae, and by activity of the neck extensors. Therefore, the flexion moment equilibrate with the extension moment. Changing of the equilibrium will make mid cervical straight. It will make forward head posture(FHP) also. FHP makes imbalance of suboccipital muscles, suprahyoid muscles and infrahyoid muscles. It has some relationship with temporomandibular joint, spine and equilibrium of pelvis.
