Comparing the postural muscular electrical potential with chewing preference, it was seen statistical significance for the muscular electrical potential of the
sternocleidomastoid and of the tibial anterior, when there was right chewing preference (p=0.030 for both) and at left (p=0.0028 and p=0.0020, respectively) (Illustration 1 and 2).
Myoelectric manifestations of
sternocleidomastoid and anterior scalene muscle fatigue in chronic neck pain patients.
Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap in preventing Frey's syndrome after parotidectomy: a systematic review.
Caption: Figure 2: CECT neck shows cystic lesion medial to
sternocleidomastoid muscle and inferomedial to parotid gland (arrows showing edge of the tumor).
The safest identification of SAN is in the posterior neck triangle where it may be recognized exiting from the posterior border of the
sternocleidomastoid muscle at Erb's point [7].
Does the method of
sternocleidomastoid muscle activation affect the vestibular evoked myogenic potential response?
Although IMH most commonly arises from the masseter muscle in the head and neck region, other sites of origin are the trapezius, periorbital,
sternocleidomastoid, and temporal muscles (2).
Second, we studied responses of orbicularis oculi (O.oc), masseter,
sternocleidomastoid (SCM), biceps brachii, abductor pollicis brevis (APB), and tibialis anterior muscles after supraorbital electrical stimuli, auditory stimuli (auditory startle reflex, ASR), and electrical stimuli of the median nerve at the wrist (startle reflex to somatosensory inputs, SSS).
Similarly, for all items of the "tension" subscale, there was a significant difference between groups (p = 0.000), i.e.,
sternocleidomastoid, supralaryngeal muscles, and larynx resistance to lateral pressure.
Clinical examination and imaging tests revealed an abscess in the left
sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Computed tomography (CT) scan of his chest showed evidence of bilateral
sternocleidomastoid inflammation/infection.
The
sternocleidomastoid, a muscle running along the side of the neck, was placed over the matrix and the adhesive platelet-rich plasma gel.
