Abstract

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the relationships of clinical measures of lingual and perihyoid strength with displacement swallowing kinematics and swallowing safety in a heterogenous group of dysphagic adults. Method A retrospective analysis was completed of videofluoroscopic swallow studies of consecutive dysphagic outpatient adults presenting to a tertiary swallowing center from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017. Videofluoroscopic swallow study records were included if containing displacement swallowing kinematics of a 20-ml single liquid swallow and clinical measures of anterior (L-MIPA) or posterior (L-MIPP) lingual maximal isometric press, saliva mean swallowing pressures (S-MSP), and/or open mouth-maximal isometric press (OM-MIP). Regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between clinical measures of lingual (L-MIPA, L-MIPP, S-MSP) and perihyoid (OM-MIP) strength and displacement swallowing kinematics, and binomial logistic regressions were used to examine the relationships between clinical measures of lingual and perihyoid strength and swallowing safety (Penetration–Aspiration Scale [PAS]). Results Multivariate regressions revealed significant relationships of L-MIPA, L-MIPP, S-MSP, and OM-MIP with group-level changes to the displacement swallowing kinematics. Univariate analyses revealed significant relationships of L-MIPA and L-MIPP with pharyngeal constriction ratio, maximal extent of upper esophageal segment opening, and PAS. Conclusions Weak relationships were identified of clinical measures of lingual and perihyoid strength with displacement swallowing kinematics. These findings suggest that clinical measures of lingual and perihyoid strength do not fully explain impairments in swallowing kinematics across a heterogenous group of dysphagic patients. Weak-to-moderate relationships were identified between clinical measures of lingual strength and PAS, suggesting that they may have value in predicting functional measures of swallowing safety. Further research is needed to examine how findings may differ between specific patient populations.
