与疾病相关的舌肌萎缩可导致舌力减弱和吞咽困难。这种口咽吞咽困难造成的毁灭性的身体和社会后果促使研究人员研究舌头锻炼在提高舌力方面的作用。我们开发了麦迪逊口腔强化治疗（MOST）装置，它提供了可复制的口腔放置，便携性，可负担性和简单的用户界面。我们的研究(1)比较了MOST和爱荷华口腔性能仪（IOPI），一种商业压力测量装置，(2)确定了等长练习的最佳舌压采样率。虽然最初使用MOST的重点是评估和治疗吞咽问题，但预计其最大的影响将是预防舌肌质量和相关力量的减少，即使在呈指数增长的健康老年人中也会发生这种情况。
Disease-related atrophy of the tongue muscles can lead to diminished lingual strength and swallowing difficulties. The devastating physical and social consequences resulting from this condition of oropharyngeal dysphagia have prompted investigators to study the effects of tongue exercise in improving lingual strength. We developed the Madison Oral Strengthening Therapeutic (MOST) device, which provides replicable mouth placement, portability, affordability, and a simple user interface. Our study (1) compared the MOST to the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), a commercial pressure-measuring device, and (2) identified the optimal tongue pressure sampling rate for isometric exercises. While initial use of the MOST is focused on evaluating and treating swallowing problems, it is anticipated that its greatest impact will be the prevention of lingual muscle mass and related strength diminishment, which occurs even in the exponentially increasing population of healthy aging adults.
