Figure 4 Change in T2 values (in milliseconds) of individual participants after the conventional effortful swallow of the splenius capitis muscles, chosen as non-activated muscle. Ascending or descending line indicates increased or decreased T2 value respectively.
Abbreviations: cES = conventional effortful swallow, ms = milliseconds.
