“…9 and 10. These results suggest that information on unique characteristics such as sharp angles or asymmetrical shapes may be useful for recognizing the shapes of test pieces, being consistent with the results of the previous study (4). This was because the subjects easily differentiated the shapes of the test pieces in each group based on unique characteristics, providing a strong input that served as clues during the tests (4,26).…”

“…Motor strategies are approaches that focus on improvement of motor function, and include the Mendelson maneuver, Masako exercise, and Shaker exercise. Motor strategies have been widely used for eating and swallowing rehabilitation in patients with stroke (3,4) because their effects on the strength of the tongue, lip pressure, and strength of the buccinators can be measured objectively through biomechanical measurements such as the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (5). Sensory strategies are approaches that focus on improvement of sensory functions, such as thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimulation.…”

Rehabilitation for dysfunctions of eatingand swallowing should be considered in terms of not only motor but also sensory function. Sensory information from a bolus in the mouth plays an important role in eating and swallowing. Therefore, this study investigated oral stereognosis in 184 healthy adults with normal eating and swallowing function in order to obtain normative data. Oral stereognosis was assessed by using 20 intra-oral test pieces with different shapes. The subjects manipulated the test pieces in the mouth and identified their shapes. At this time, the test scores and response times for answering were recorded. The results revealed differences in oral stereognosis depending on the age of the subjects and the test pieces employed. The younger group had higher test scores and shorter response times than the older group, except for comparisons between the 20s and 30s age groups. In addition, response time was negative correlated with test scores (r = −0.956, P < 0.001). These results indicate that oral stereognosis decreases with age.

“…A probable explanation would be a difficulty in understanding the orders requested, as they are actions seldomly performed in a conscious manner by the elderly individuals evaluated in their daily routine. In addition, there is a reduction in oral stereognosis of the elderly (28) , which, in turn, may influence or be related to reduced oral motor activity (28,29) . The change in language mobility was the most important, corroborating Lima et al (9) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo conhecer as características orofaciais de idosos funcionalmente independentes e analisar a associação com a idade, gênero, nível socioeconômico e estado dentário. Método estudo observacional, transversal de caráter analítico com amostra não probabilística. Foi aplicado o instrumento validado “Protocolo de Avaliação Miofuncional Orofacial com Escalas para Idoso” em sujeitos funcionalmente independentes com idade igual ou acima de 60 anos, em boas condições de saúde segundo avaliação geriátrica padronizada, intitulada Protocolo de Avaliação Multidimensional do Idoso. Resultados os idosos apresentaram padrões de normalidade acima de 60% nos parâmetros de aspecto e mobilidade das estruturas. As alterações significantes foram: sulco nasolabial acentuado; bochechas flácidas ou arqueadas; vedamento labial com tensão ou ausência de vedamento e comissuras labiais deprimidas. As alterações de mobilidade foram pequenas, entre 20,6% e 33,8%, com maior prevalência na elevação da língua e lateralização do ar em bochechas infladas e da mandíbula. Não houve relação destes achados perante a progressão da idade e as classes socioeconômicas. As mulheres apresentaram maior chance de exibirem aspecto normal dos lábios e alguma alteração da mobilidade. O número de dentes associou-se com o volume e a configuração dos lábios e a mobilidade da mandíbula. Além disso, o uso de prótese dentária associou-se significativamente com o aspecto do sulco nasolabial e a tensão/configuração das bochechas. Conclusão este trabalho sugere que o sistema oromiofacial encontra-se dentro dos padrões de normalidade na maioria dos idosos funcionalmente independentes. O que ampara a atuação multiprofissional na prevenção, promoção e tratamento da saúde oromiofuncional dos idosos.

“…The proposed experiment has been assessed by a implementing a technique which aided in identifying the shape of test pieces in the oral cavity [10,11]. In our earlier contribution we have provided information on the result of the test piece identification which were found worth investigating considering the effective outcome on oral stereognostic ability [12]. This study demonstrated that the tongue was responsible for the oral stereognostic ability and it' ability was quite high.…”

We previously reported that senior aged people display reduced stereognostic efficiency of the tongue compared to the young adults, and suggested the feasibility of getting over this situation applying the training protocol mentioned by us. The same important issue to the development of therapy for decreased function is study on prevention of aging-dependent functional decline. Early prevention of the oral stereognostic ability decrement might be the better option while investigation of the issues should be considered during the early onset of the conditions in aged patients.This study was conducted to understand the efficiency of tongue's stereognostic characteristics for middle-aged people with a comparative understanding with young adults. This analysis related to tongue was conducted in 78 young adults (mean age: 24.5 years) and 33 middle-agers (mean age: 50.5 years). The method applied in this study contained 20 varied shaped test pieces in the oral cavity of the subjects. The observations revealed that most of the young adults were able to identify different shaped test pieces compare to the older participants (mean correct number of responses: 16.8 and 15.2, respectively; p<0.001). Depending on the shapes the test pieces were divided into six groups. It was found that misidentification of a piece by the young participants lead to selection of similar piece belonging to the same group. Selection of pieces from other group was almost nil. On the other hand, the older participants (middle-agers) also identified test pieces less often from separate groups. Differences in degree of decrease in the stereognostic ability between middle-agers and seniors whose ability was reported previously were also discussed.
