Summary
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune neurological disease characterized by the destruction of myelin in the central nervous system, grey matter and axonal loss. The prevalence of neurogenic dysphagia in this group of patients is estimated to be more than 30%. The aim of this study was investigating of Masseter, Orbicularis Oris, Sternocleidomastoid muscles' viscoelastic properties in MS patients with and without swallowing problems.
Detailed description
The aim of this study was investigating of Masseter, Orbicularis Oris, Sternocleidomastoid muscles' viscoelastic properties in MS patients with and without swallowing problems. It carried out that myotonometric assessment of muscles in multiple sclerosis patients with dysphagia and comparison of these properties.

| OTHER | DYMUS | DYsphagia in MUltiple Sclerosis (DYMUS) that was questionnare and Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) were used for assess swallowing problem. All individuals were classified according to DYMUS. The DYMUS Score was 1 or 2 was taken as mild swallowing problems, 3 or more was taken as severe swallowing problems. Patients were divided into three groups; first group that include patients without swallowing problems, second group that include patients with mild swallowing problems, third group that include severe swallowing problems. |
