Abstract
With the use of the methods developed to quantify oral dysfunctions in bulbar MG patients, our results indicate that we can distinguish the patients from their matched controls. These results can add to our knowledge of myasthenia gravis and these methods may improve diagnosis and therapy evaluation in individual patients. In addition, these methods may be used in future pharmacological research.Keywords
