Effect of the head extension swallowing exercise on suprahyoid muscle activity in elderly individuals.

This study showed that HESE can be a good option for improving the suprahyoid muscle and tongue strength in the elderly population. Additionally, this exercise does not require any additional equipment and has the advantage of being able to be performed anytime and anywhere. A variety of exercise options tailored according to individual characteristics may be helpful in choosing the most appropriate exercise. PMID: 29894751 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
