英文摘要Swallowing is an extremely complex motion controlled by multiple muscles on the front neck region. Normal swallowing is dependent on orderly activation and co-coordination of the associated neck muscles, known as muscle synergy. However, evidence for muscle synergy during normal swallowing is rarely investigated. In this study, we studied the muscle synergy associated with swallowing saliva based on high-density (HD) surface electromyography (sEMG) signals acquired from four healthy subjects. The non-negative matrix factorization algorithm was applied to reconstruct the muscle activation patterns, and the values of variance accounted for (VAF) coefficients were computed to determine the number of muscle synergies. The results showed that the VAF values raised with the increase in the number of synergies on both the left and right sides of the neck. And the variation tendency of the VAF values was almost similar between the left and right area with a significant correlation (r=0.9902±0.0046, p<0.05). Furthermore, it was observed that an average of 5 muscle synergies was the minimum number required to sufficiently reconstruct the spatial characteristics of the synergism between both sides of the neck. These results suggest that the muscle synergy approach could serve as a promising candidate to evaluate the muscular co-contractions during swallowing, and it might be a useful method for dysphagia monitoring and diagnoses.
