Figure 6 Change in T2 values (in milliseconds) of muscles with significant increased T2 values of individual participants after jaw opening against resistance exercise performed with the swallow exercise aid. Ascending or descending line indicates increased or decreased T2 value respectively.
Abbreviations: JOAR+ = jaw opening against resistance performed with swallow exercise aid, ms = milliseconds.
