Assessment of a New Tool to Measure Tongue Muscle Function (TOM1)
The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) is currently the reference tool for assessing tongue muscle function, measuring the pressure exerted by the tongue on an air-filled bulb. However, several limitations reduce its precision and clinical relevance. To overcome these, the TOngue Manometer (TOM) has been developed. This crossover study compares the two devices in healthy adults, hypothesizing that the TOM's interface will enable participants to produce higher maximal tongue pressure and endurance values, closer to their ground truth.

Mouth, tongue, and face assessment test (through MBLF test)
Tidsramme: Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
|
This test (MBLF test, for 'test de motricité bucco-linguo-faciale') features an assessment of several muscles (e.g., lips, tongue, and face area) that are assessed on a scale from 0 (no contraction / severe asymmetry) to 3 (normal contraction / complete symmetry). |
Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
|
|
Mouth breathing questionnaire
Tidsramme: Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
|
A score 0-3 suggests high likelihood of habitual nose breathing; 4-7 a suspicion of mouth breathing; 8 or higher a high likelihood of habitual mouth breathing |
Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
|
|
Tongue thickness (POCUS)
Tidsramme: Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
|
A submental and neck ultrasound will be performed to assess tongue muscles thickness (cm) |
Throughout the entire study, approximately during 14 months
