Our study demonstrated that an overextended length of suprahyoid muscles mediates the relationship between forward head posture and jaw-opening force. Forward head posture is easily visualized and can be a useful indicator of decline in suprahyoid muscle strength. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 779-784.
