目的：下颌张开力是吞咽功能（包括舌骨提升）的一个指标。颏舌骨肌在舌骨提升过程中起重要作用。本研究旨在探讨颏舌骨肌厚度和回声强度是否与超声测量下颌张开strength.Material和方法：68名参与者（39名男性），平均年龄为77±7.7岁，从功能训练保健设施招募。我们测量肌肉厚度和回波强度的颏舌骨肌横向超声images.Results：年龄，小腿围，握力，肌肉厚度和回波强度显着相关的单变量分析与下颌张开的力量。在多元回归分析中调整握力后，颏舌骨肌厚度和回声强度与开颌强度显著相关（肌肉厚度β= 0.29，回声强度β=− 0.26）。结论：颏舌骨肌厚度与开颌强度呈正相关，回声强度与开颌强度呈负相关。超声评估颏舌骨肌的状态提供了重要的信息，保持下颌张开的力量。
Aim: Jaw-opening strength is an indicator of swallowing function including hyoid bone elevation. Geniohyoid muscles play an important role during hyoid bone elevation. This study aimed to investigate whether geniohyoid muscle thickness and echo intensity measured by ultrasonography were related to jaw-opening strength.Material and methods: Sixty-eight participants (39 men) with an average age of 77±7.7 years were recruited from a functional training health care facility. We measured muscle thickness and echo intensity of the geniohyoid muscle on transverse ultrasound images.Results: Age, calf circumference, grip strength, muscle thickness and echo intensity were significantly associated with jaw-opening strength in univariate analyses. After adjusting for grip strength in multiple regression analysis, geniohyoid muscle thickness and echo intensity were significantly associated with jaw-opening strength (β= 0.29 for muscle thickness, β=− 0.26 for echo intensity).Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between geniohyoid muscle thickness and jaw-opening strength; echo intensity negatively correlated with jaw-opening strength. Ultrasound evaluation of geniohyoid muscle status provides important information about maintaining jaw-opening strength.
