Sonographic assessment of hyoid bone movement during swallowing: a study of normal adults with advancing age

Abstract: Our aim in this study was to evaluate hyoid bone movement trajectories and the age-related changes during swallowing in healthy subjects by ultrasonography. Data were obtained from 30 healthy volunteers (15 men, 15 women) in three age groups (20-39, 40-59, 60-79 years). The subjects were examined while sitting in an upright position, with the back against a wall to control movement. The transducer was placed in a longitudinal scan above the larynx. The subjects were then given 5 mL of mineral water. The water … Show more

“…From the search of the descriptors ultrasound versus swallowing, papers that are presented in Chart 5, the investigation of the displacement of the hyoid bone during the act of swallowing was frequent (19,(23)(24)(25)(26) . In addition to this, three other papers further investigated the thickness of the lingual musculature (20,27) and the pressure exerted by the tongue on the palate (19) .…”

“…As for the sample evaluated in the mentioned papers (17,19,20,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)38,39) , the groups comprised individuals with typical swallowing (from children to the elderly) and with altered swallowing, due to some underlying diseases, such as cerebral vascular accident (CVA). The number of participants varied considerably from 5 to 104 among the articles, with an average of 42.5 participants.…”

“…US is a noninvasive examination that provides dynamic images that focus on the soft tissues and body structures (2) . The technique is widely applied in clinical practice because of its low cost, safety, speed and lack of radiation (3) . US is a viable option for studying the oral and pharyngeal structures involved in deglutition (2,3) .…”
