This study evaluated the efficiency of masticatory cycles by means of the linear envelope of the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporalis muscles in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Twenty-four individuals were assigned into two groups: with Parkinson's disease, average ± SD 66.1 ± 3.3 years (n = 12) and without the disease, average ± SD: 65.8 ± 3.0 years (n = 12). The MyoSystem-I P84 electromyograph was used to analyze the activity of masticatory cycles through the linear envelope integral in habitual mastication of peanuts and raisins and non-habitual mastication of Parafilm M®.
There was statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between individuals with Parkinson's disease and without the disease in non-habitual mastication of Parafilm M®, in the right temporal muscle (P = 0.01); habitual mastication of peanuts, in the right temporal muscle (P = 0.02), left temporal muscle (P = 0.03), and right masseter muscle (P = 0.01); and habitual mastication of raisins in the right temporal muscle (P = 0.001), left temporal muscle (P= 0.001), right masseter muscle (P= 0.001) and left masseter muscle (P= 0.03).
These results suggest that Parkinson's disease interferes in the electromyographic activity of the masticatory cycles by reducing muscular efficiency.
本研究通过咀嚼肌(颞肌和咬肌)肌电图信号的线性包络评估帕金森病患者的咀嚼周期效率。
将 24 名个体分为两组:帕金森病组,平均年龄 ± 标准差 66.1 ± 3.3 岁(n = 12);无帕金森病组,平均年龄 ± 标准差 65.8 ± 3.0 岁(n = 12)。使用 MyoSystem-I P84 肌电图仪分析习惯性咀嚼花生和葡萄干以及非习惯性咀嚼 Parafilm M®时咀嚼周期的活动,通过线性包络积分进行分析。
帕金森病组与无帕金森病组在非习惯性咀嚼 Parafilm M®时,右侧颞肌的肌电活动有统计学差异(P ≤ 0.05)(P = 0.01);在习惯性咀嚼花生时,右侧颞肌(P = 0.02)、左侧颞肌(P = 0.03)和右侧咬肌(P = 0.01),以及习惯性咀嚼葡萄干时,右侧颞肌(P = 0.001)、左侧颞肌(P= 0.001)、右侧咬肌(P= 0.001)和左侧咬肌(P= 0.03)的肌电活动有统计学差异。
这些结果表明,帕金森病通过降低肌肉效率来干扰咀嚼周期的肌电活动。
