Functional limitation of the masticatory system in patients with bulbar involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Functional limitation of the masticatory system in patients with bulbar involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with bulbar dysfunction affects the motor neurons responsible for controlling the muscles in the jaw, face, soft palate, pharynx, larynx and tongue. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the functional limitation of the jaw in patients with ALS and bulbar...
