A commonly used modification is to assess TRMR while the tongue is held in suction against the roof of the mouth in lingual-palatal suction (LPS). Objective: This study aims to explore the utility and normative values of TRMR-LPS as an adjunct to functional assessment of tongue mobility using TRMR-TIP.

For assessment of posterior tongue mobility, maximum interincisal mouth opening with the tongue in lingual‐palatal suction (LPS) is compared with CMO; the percentage of LPS divided by CMO is defined as the TRMR‐LPS.

2021年1月17日 · Measurements of tongue range of motion, tongue tip, and posterior tongue mobility can help understand the lingual-palatal contact necessary for oral health and swallowing (Zaghi et al., 2021).

To assess tongue mobility, tongue range of motion ratio (TRMR) was calculated based on measurements of the functional movements of tongue-tip-to-incisive-papillae (TIP) and lingual-palatal...

2024年8月29日 · Restricted tongue mobility and ankyloglossia were graded using the tongue range of motion ratio (TRMR), with the tongue-tip-to-incisive papillae (TIP) for the anterior tongue tip and lingual–palatal suction (LPS) for the posterior two-thirds of the tongue. Tongue strength and tongue endurance were measured by the Iowa Oral Pressure Instrument.

This helps improve nasal breathing, reduce mouth breathing and snoring, as well as improve tongue-base obstruction, and positional sleep apnea and/or UARS. Myofunctional therapy and lingual frenuloplasty can help patients with low tongue position associated with functional ankyloglossia (tongue-tie).

2023年8月22日 · We can do this by creating a light lingual suction (the underside of the tongue looks soft), or we can initiate a forceful lingual suction (creating dark caves under our tongue). By lifting the posterior of the tongue towards the palate, we reduce the lingual-palatal pressure and enhance the suction created.

2021年1月16日 · A commonly used modification is to assess TRMR while the tongue is held in suction against the roof of the mouth in lingual-palatal suction (LPS). Objective This study aims to explore the utility and normative values of TRMR-LPS as an adjunct to functional assessment of tongue mobility using TRMR-TIP.

2021年1月1日 · For assessment of posterior tongue mobility, maximum interincisal mouth opening with the tongue in lingual-palatal suction (LPS) is compared with CMO; the percentage of LPS divided by CMO is defined as the TRMR-LPS.

All patients were prepared by a speech therapist following the principles of myofunctional therapy to strengthen the internal and external tongue muscles and to train the lingual palatal suction (LPS), which is crucial for post-operative care. To evaluate results, we used tongue range motion ratio (TRMR) with patient in the natural head position.
