“…Little information is available about the magnitude of force generally employed by speech‐language pathologists in tongue‐training programmes. The forces used to reach the target in the present study were 1 N and 2 N. These magnitudes are lower than the maximum forces healthy young adults are able to exert (7.5 ± 0.7 N in the up direction and 4.8 ± 0.3 N in lateral directions) but are similar to the magnitudes involved in deglutition (0.02 N‐1.67 N) . There was no difference in the participants’ performance between 1 N and 2 N for any of the dependent variables, which can be possibly explained by the fact that the target force levels used were very low for healthy adults, but it could be high for unhealthy persons.…”

Summary Background Lingual exercises are commonly used in clinical practice for swallowing rehabilitation. Associating lingual exercises with computer games increases motivation, which influences tongue motor performance. Objective To investigate the effects of tongue movement direction; resistance force level; repetition number; sustained tongue contraction duration; age and gender on tongue motor performance in healthy adults using computer games. Methods An observational pilot study was carried out at a university laboratory. Nine healthy adults, aged 22 to 38 years, used an intra‐oral joystick controlled by the tongue to play four computer games. The participants had to reach 12 targets that appeared on the computer screen using the intra‐oral joystick. Motor performance was measured by the number of attempts to score and the time during which the target force was maintained. Tongue motor performance was compared among tongue movement direction, resistance force level, game round number, and continuous force application time on the target, age and gender. Results The number of attempts depended significantly on the direction, continuous force application time on the target and age. The time during which the target force was maintained depended significantly on the direction, continuous force application time on the target and game round number. There were no significant differences in the comparisons by gender or by resistance force level. Conclusions It was seen that young adults had their best performance in the downward direction, on the third round, holding the force for a shorter time. The performance deteriorated as age increased.

“…At rest, pressure from the tongue is slight but long lasting and, therefore, can move the teeth. Amanda Valentim, et al in their literature reviewed that atypical swallowing can cause occlusion alterations [23]. It was also hypothesized that duration of tongue is much more important than magnitude.…”

Objectives: The aim of the study is to evaluate the tongue force on the mandibular incisors in various malocclusions and among genders. Material and Methods: 512 subjects (340 females and 172 males) within the age group of 18-28years were selected for the study. The subjects were divided into three groups according the molar relation of the subjects. Molar relation and the tongue force exerted on the mandibular incisor of the subjects were recorded using a diagnostic kit and a Flexiforce resistive sensor respectively. Tongue force at rest (TFR), during swallowing (TFS) and maximum tongue force (MTF) were measured. Results: There was a significant increase in MTF among males than females. A significant relation among the groups when TFR and TFS were compared was also found. Conclusion: TFR and TFS were found to be influential in causing malocclusion and also a stronger tongue musculature among males than females was concluded while comparing MTF

Evaluation of the force applied by the tongue and lip on the maxillary central incisor tooth

Abstract: At rest, the lip exerts a larger force than the tongue on the maxillary right central incisor tooth. During swallowing, there was no difference between lip and tongue force on the tooth.
