Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate tongue protrusion motor skills in healthy adults and to assess the reliability of these measurements as well as their validity in relation to other motor functions (handgrip and respiratory muscles).
Detailed Description:
The tongue is an organ involved in multiple essential daily functions (such as eating, speaking, and breathing). Normative values exist for the motor skills of tongue elevation in individuals. However, data regarding protrusion are lacking. Yet, the protrusive strength of the tongue is of particular interest. Indeed a weak protrusive tongue strength may contribute to sleep apnea and swallowing disorders. Therefore, this study aims to collect normative and clinimetric (validity and reliability) data of tongue protrusion strength and endurance among healthy adults.
