Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: lip pressure, using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, a muscle pressure measurement instrument, based on the observation of variation in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 2: lip resistance, using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, a muscle pressure measurement instrument, based on the finding of variation in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 3: tongue pressure, using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, a muscle pressure measurement instrument, based on the observation of variation in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 4: tongue resistance, using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, a muscle pressure measurement instrument, based on the observation of variation in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 5: amplitude of the electrical signal from the lips, using surface electromyography, based on the observation of variation in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 6: electromyographic fatigue of the lips, using surface electromyography, based on the observation of variation in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 7: amplitude of the electrical signal from masseter muscle, using surface electromyography, based on the observation of variation in the pre and post-intervention measurements. | — |
